A Serious Introduction to Genes

I was looking for a good introductory type book into Genes and Biotech and I think I found one. This book starts from Cell and explanis DNA RNA all that good stuff with nice tecnical drawings showing the growth, partitions, mutations etc. It is written for educational purposes so it is not popular science type that all in words, it is serious but you do not have to be a med student to understand this. A good bilogy background and serious reading will do.Book continues with other subjects related to genes and DNA. I particularly liked the sections about Brain, the machinery and the design of it. it is a perfect book about DNA and Genes and life.
