Molecular and Genetic Analysis of Human Traits will addressthe science student human genetics market. Although incorporatingtwo basic themes: how do we establish that a trait is hereditary,and how is the human genome organized, it will also addressrelevant clinical examples and key related ethical issues. Newattractive features have been added, including a chapter project,and end of chapter exercises which rely on real data.

"I will be looking for a new general text that does a good jobpresenting the basics - the clinical texts will not do that for me,nor will the texts that present human genetics as problems to besolved, one disease at a time. I would be interested in consideringthis text should it be published." Joan Rutila, BrandeisUniversity
"I DO agree with the author's two lines of thought, I think theyare very good approaches and in texts that I have reviewed, I havenot found such an organisation. If I were teaching a majors coursewith a lecture format, I would like such an approach." RitaCalvo, Cornell University
Praise from reviews:
The author has clearly done a great deal of research across abroad spectrum of genetic studies in finding the examples that hehas chosen to illustrate concepts. I would like to adopt this textfor my class, and I think it will help students learn how to readoriginal research publications. -Professor Georgia FloydSmith, Arizona State University
The coverage of ethics, particularly the box regarding the humangenome project, is excellent. These are the types of side-tripsthat make teaching fun. A text which relates "issues" to thematerial makes the material relevant for students while giving theinstructor an opportunity to lead an interesting discussion.-Professor Ellen Kittler, UMass Medical School
