Hartwell: Genetics: From Genes to Genomes, 6th edition
Every chapter of the sixth edition has been revised and modernized significantly as compared with the fifth edition. More than 50 new Figures and Tables were created, and more than 100 were revised. More than 125 new end-of-chapter problems were written, and many more revised for clarity. The entire Solutions Manual and Study Guide was updated, corrected, and revised Michael Goldberg and Janice Fischer. Several new Fast Forward, Genetics and Society, and Tools of Genetics Boxes covering modern topics were created. For breadth and clarity, Chapter 9 in the 5th edition was split into two separate chapters in the 6th edition: Chapter 9 (Digital Analysis of DNA) and Chapter 10 (Genome Annotation).
