With each edition, An Introduction to Genetic Analysis (IGA) evolves discovery by discovery with the world of genetic research, taking students from the foundations of Mendelian genetics to the latest findings and applications by focusing on the landmark experiments that define the field.
With its author team of prominent scientists who are also highly accomplished educators, IGA again combines exceptional currency, expansive updating of its acclaimed problem sets, and a variety of new ways to learn genetics. Foremost is this edition’s dedicated version of W.H. Freeman’s breakthrough online course space, LaunchPad, which offers a number of new and enhanced interactive tools that advance IGA’s core mission: to show students how to analyze experimental data and draw their own conclusions based on scientific thinking while teaching students how to think like geneticists.

DNA evidence not only solves crimes―in Sean Carroll's hands it will now end the Evolution Wars.
DNA, the genetic blueprint of all creatures, is a stunningly rich and detailed record of evolution. Every change or new trait, from the gaudy colors of tropical birds to our color vision with which we admire them, is due to changes in DNA that leave a record and can be traced. Just as importantly, the DNA evidence has revealed several profound surprises about how evolution actually works. 50 black-and-white illustrations and 8 pages of color

An award-winning biologist takes us on the dramatic expeditions that unearthed the history of life on our planet.
Just 150 years ago, most of our world was an unexplored wilderness. Our sense of its age was vague and vastly off the mark, and much of the knowledge of our own species’ history was a set of fantastic myths and fairy tales. In the tradition of The Microbe Hunters and Gods, Graves, and Scholars, Sean Carroll leads a rousing voyage that recounts the most important discoveries in two centuries of natural history: from Darwin’s trip around the world to Charles Walcott’s discovery of pre-Cambrian life in the Grand Canyon; from Louis and Mary Leakey’s investigation of our deepest past in East Africa to the trailblazers in modern laboratories who have located a time clock in our DNA.

Our new course space, LaunchPad, combines an interactive e-book with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. Pre-built, curated units are easy to assign or adapt with your own material, such as readings, videos, quizzes, discussion groups, and more. LaunchPad also provides access to a gradebook that provide a clear window on performance for your whole class, for individual students, and for individual assignments. While a streamlined interface helps students focus on what’s due next, social commenting tools let them engage, make connections, and learn from each other. Use LaunchPad on its own or integrate it with your school’s learning management system so your class is always on the same page.

Sean B. Carroll, geneticist, biologist, educator. Fellow: American Association for the Advancement of Science; member: National Academy of Sciences, American Academy Arts & Sciences.
Background
Carroll, Sean B. was born on September 17, 1960.
Education
Carroll received his bachelors at Washington University in Saint Louis. He then received his Doctor of Philosophy in immunology from Tufts University.
Career
He studies the evolution of cis-regulation in the context of biological development, using Drosophila as a model system. He is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. Since 2010, he has been vice-president for science education of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Carroll is at the forefront of a field known as evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo").
He is also the author of Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo and the Making of the Animal Kingdom, one of the first popular summary narratives of the field He is a professor of genetics, medical genetics, and molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Additionally, he writes a monthly column for the New York Times called "Remarkable Creatures." He is a strong advocate of the primacy of cis-regulatory evolution in the context of morphological evolution. He is also the author of The Making of the Fittest: deoxyribonucleic acid and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution, in which he argues for the irrefutable existence of natural selection by detailing numerous examples of deoxyribonucleic acid which has recently been traced from current species to long extinct ones.
In 2010, he was named vice-president for science education of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
In 2012, he was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Life Science from the Franklin Institute. In 2016, he was awarded the Thomas Lewis Prize at the Rockefeller University.
Achievements
Sean B. Carroll has been listed as a noteworthy geneticist, biologist, educator by Marquis Who's Who.
