Snustad's 6th edition of Principles of Genetics offers many new and advanced features including boxed sections with the latest advances in Genetics, a streamlined roster of topics, a more reader-friendly layout, and new problem-solving supplements. Furthermore, this new edition includes more problem solving within each chapter through the Test Your Problem Solving Skills feature and a Solve It icon to prompt readers to go online to WileyPlus for animated tutorials. A new one-column design better showcases important pieces of art and avoids the "overwhelmed" reaction readers have to the crowded layouts found in many other texts. Boxed sections reduce in size to help maintain the flow of the text and the Focus On boxes are revised to include the most current developments in genetics as well as most relevant topics.

Snustad provides scientists with the confidence to apply problem solving to the major principals of genetics. It eases them into the art of problem solving by integrating problems within each chapter. A clear connection between key principals and related problems is presented in each chapter. Icons help them clearly see how a problem is worked out before reading on. The fifth edition has also been revised with an improved art program. It offers more balanced coverage of traditional and modern topics by weaving classical genetics with molecular genetics, and illustrating the connection between the two. The book is problem-solving-centric as well. Chapters now contain problems that correlate with major principals. Coverage of both classic experiments and current research will allow scientists to gain perspective on the process of science.

From the Preface of this 823 page text in a three-ring binder: "This edition continues our efforts to offer a book that balances new information with fundamental principles. As in previous editions, we have been guided by four overarching goals: To Focus on the Basic Principles of Genetics; To Focus on the Scientific Process; To Focus on Human Genetics; and To Focus on Developing Critical Thinking Skills. The text comprises 25 chapters. Chapters 1-2 introduce the science of genetics, basic features of cellular reproduction, and some of the model genetic organisms; Chapters 3-8 present the concepts of classical genetics and the basic procedures for the genetic analysis o9f microorganisms; Chapters 9-14 present the topics of molecular genetics, including DNA replication, transcription, translation, mutation, and definition of the gene; Chapters 15-18 cover more advanced topic in molecular genetics and genomics; Chapters 19-22 deal with the regulation of gene expression and the genetic basis of development, immunity, and cancer; Chapters 23-25 present the concepts of quantitative, population, and evolutionary genetics."
