"The fundamental aim of Cellular and Biochemical Sciences is to emphasize diversified topics of current interest to postgraduate students pursuing different courses in the areas of Biological Science including Zoology, Botany, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Bioengineering and Pharmacology. A topic on concept and applications of bioinformatics has also been incorporated. About 58 topics have been included in the book and some of the topics are rarely found in other books of Biology. New information has been introduced which updates existing knowledge and enables the book to justify its claim as the most comprehensive text in the Cellular and Biochemical Sciences. Each chapter has been designed in a lucid and readable manner. There are references, suggested readings, long questions and objective questions in each chapter. The text will also be relevant to the students of Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology. Spread in 58 chapters, it focuses on the following areas"
