About the book

Principles of Genetics by D. Peter Snustad and Michael J. Simmons is a comprehensive guide for the biology students studying cell biology and genetics. This book covers the basic to advance level of information which could be great teaching learning materials for Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels.  

The book is developed with 4 major goals:

  • To focus on the basic principles of genetics by presenting the important concepts of classical, molecular, and population genetics carefully and thoroughly. We believe that an understanding of current advances in genetics and an appreciation for their practical significance must be based on a strong foundation.
  • To focus on the scientific process by showing how scientific concepts develop from observation and experimentation.
  • To focus on human genetics by incorporating human examples and showing the relevance of genetics to societal issues
  • To focus on developing critical thinking skills by emphasizing the analysis of experimental data and problems.
