"In the recent past, the molecular biology has undergone a veritable revolution. This book has been compiled and edited to include the various modern concepts on this subject. The main aim of this book is to introduce to students the essential concepts for understanding various aspects of molecular biology and its related concepts. It also includes much which will arouse the interest of innovating students.
Each concept in this book is self sufficient in itself. It includes considerable detail with illustrations along with essential theories. Further each concept has been written to keep pace with continuing rapid developments in the recent past. Most of the illustrations have been taken from professional papers and standard books and journals." (jacket)
