Biography
Terry Brown is professor of Biomolecular Archaeology at Manchester University. As well as writing the previous editions of Genomes, he is the author of Introduction to Genetics: A Molecular Approach (Garland 2011) and 5 editions of DNA Cloning Analysis (Wiley Blackwell). He is also an experienced teacher of genetics.
"… a great resource for students wanting to understand genomes and the tremendous advancements in the field …" Ian Gonzales (Yale School of Medicine)
"[The book] does exactly what it is supposed to do, describing the current and ever-expanding filed of genomics. I really liked this book and learned so much from reading it thoroughly. It has certainly updated my own knowledge and I would highly recommend it to all, … I am only disappointed I did not have a book as informative as this when I did my undergraduate study many years ago.” Tony Reynolds (The Biologist)
