Description
Insect Molecular Genetics, 2nd edition, is a succinct book that briefly introduces graduate and undergraduate students to molecular genetics
and the techniques used in this well established and important discipline. The book is written for two converging audiences: those familiar
with insects that need to learn about molecular genetics, and those that are familiar with molecular genetics but not familiar with insects.
Thus, this book is intended to fill the gap between two audiences that share a common middle ground.
Audience
Advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students, faculty and researchers that need a primer of molecular genetics as it relates to
entomology. Libraries at institutions with strong programs in entomology, pest control, biological control, insect pathology, and molecular
genetics.
