the best book

In my opinion it is the best book i have partly read by far and every time when i have a free time i intrestingly like to read this book. In fact, i have found it very usefull to undrestand basic meaning of celular and molecular phenomenons and genes.

Great book

This book is well written and provides an excellent introduction to the subject matter. It's a comprehensive text for anyone who wishes to gain a thorough exposure to the genes, genomes and gene regulation. However, this book does have it's drawbacks. Recent advances in genomics maybe covered on a later textbook. Perfect for an undergraduate or a beginning grad student. I suggest this book as a companion for a more comprehesive text such MBOC by alberts et al. If you are faced with a choice of either alberts or Genes VII, I suggest alberts. For the seasoned molecular biologist I urge you to look elsewhere.

Comprehensive New Edition

I must speculate that some reviewers have yet to receive their PhD or otherwise do not have a full understanding of molecular biology. Part of the genius of this new edition is that it presents the same material in a more concise fashion, without losing its specificity. The Lodish book, on the other hand, is rather clusmy both in its presentation and analysis, and is frequently confused on the intricacies of this field. For a serious student who wishes to really learn this material, this book is certainly the most logical and suitable choice.

A clear way

Well,the deep success of genes 6 should not be re covered.Maybe not a excellent proffesional view but a perfect guide for students and collegers. Also this is same for gene7.Im glad to read it.
