Overview

This groundbreaking textbook is the first to bring biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and genetics together in one single volume, with the veterinary student in mind. Providing the scientific framework on which clinical skills are built, this book is essential reading for veterinary students in their preclinical years. Divided into three main sections, Molecules, Cellular Functions, Genetics and DNA Technology, it covers the gamut from classical biochemical metabolism to contemporary issues in cell and molecular biology. As well as providing core information, Veterinary Molecular Biology also includes topical and advanced areas of interest enabling the reader to keep abreast of current developments in the field. With over 250 line diagrams and many colour and black and white photographs, this textbook will become a key teaching and learning tool.
