Twyman.Blackwell Publishing2006644 pages$89.95PaperbackQH442This survey of gene manipulation in the context of the genomics erais written at an advanced undergraduate level, assuming a basicknowledge of molecular biology and genetics but no knowledge ofrecombinant DNA technology or genomics. For this seventh edition, thebook has been divided into sections to enable it to be used in differentways. After material on basic methodologies and more advancedtechniques, the third section covers genomics, proteomics,transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Final chapters look at applicationsof recombinant DNA technology and genomics in medicine, agriculture, andindustry. Historical notes and two-color explanatory diagrams areincluded.(c20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR).
I ordered a genetic engineering home lab kit for $1900 from the Odin a few months ago. Getting it ready took a while but I received news finally that the order status has been updated to “shipped.” A tracking number was provided, and it’s currently in a state of “pre-shipment,” they’re still awaiting the item. Nevertheless, let’s celebrate the update in this order’s status by preparing for some genetic engineering. In this blog post, I will do an inspectional reading of the book “Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics” by S.B. Primrose and R.M. Twyman.The role of an inspectional reading is to get the most you can out of a book in a limited period of time.
For most books it’s to determine the book’s main message, it’s layout and how the structure contributes to the main point. Since I fully intend to do an analytical reading of this book, the inspectional reading will serve to lay the groundwork for it, as well as (80/20 rule) helping me find the sections of the book which will be most immediately relevant to what I want to do. Note that Adler and Doren explained inspectional reading they didn’t necessarily have textbooks in mind. Below are my notes from examining the table of contents, preface, chapter 1 and the final chapter.
Title: 'Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics' by S.B. Primrose and R.M. TwymanContents:Book consists of 26 chapters.
Outside the first chapter, which is introductory, the other chapters are grouped into parts.Intro chapter 1: 'Gene manipulation in the post-genomics era'- what is gene manipulation? What is it's historical context (including the inventions that make it possible) and what is it for?- Also includes outline for the rest of the book.
This is the section where the authors give tips on how to best read their book.Part I (chapters 2 - 9) Fundamental Techniques of Gene ManipulationPart II (chapters 10 - 15) Manipulating DNA in Microbes, Plants and Animals- Many of these chapters deal with specific challenges unique to the kingdom of life you want to modifyPart III (chapters 16 - 24) Genome Analysis, Genomics and Beyond.Part IV (chapters 25 - 26) Application of Gene Manipulation and GenomicsNext we'll examine the table of contents at the level of the chapter. As you can see, compared to most books, the table of contents in textbooks goes into great detail.Part I (chapters 2 - 9) Fundamental Techniques of Gene ManipulationCh. 2 - Basic Techniques.- Overview of techniques necessary for gene manipulation.- Covers Gel Electrophoresis, Blotting (Southern, Northern and Western), PCR, ElectroporationCh. Multi theft auto download. 3 - Cutting and Joining DNA Molecules.- Cutting DNA molucules lists several points about restriction endonucleases and contributing factors which may enable or impede their function in cutting DNA.- Cites DNA Ligase as key for joining molucules 'in vitro'- Talks about matching the correct ends for ligase to join and techniques for that.- Also cites alternative (but evidently less preferred) method of joining DNA.Ch. 4 - Basic biology of plasmid and phage vectors- (from my training in biology a plasmid is a circular loop of DNA used by bacteria, and favored by scientists because it's easy to manipulate and insert into a cell, particularly since bacteria don't have a nucleus.

A phage is a virus. A phage vector is a virus used to carry (instead of it's own DNA) the mutant DNA that you've prepared for the cell)- Lists several points to consider about plasmids, such as 'Plasmids with similar replication and partitioning systems cannot be maintained in the same cell'- Lists several points about bacteriophage lambda after talking about it's 'genetic organization.' - Talks about single-stranded DNA vectors and use cases for them.Ch.

(Viruses & Bacteria, Mitochondria & Organelle DNA, Chloroplast DNA etc.)- Organization of Nuclear DNA in Eukaryotes-Ends with summary of their structural elements- 17. Mapping and Sequencing genomes- (Talks about different strategies and limitations for mapping and sequencing genomes)- 18. Comparative genomics- Broken down into the comparative genomics of bacteria, organelles and eukaryotes- 19. Large Scale Mutagenesis- (about knocking out genes by either an insertion, point mutations or deletions)Transcriptomics and 3 Chapters on ProteomicsPart IV (chapters 25 - 26) Application of Gene Manipulation and Genomics- 25. Applications of Genomics: understanding the basis of polygenic disorders and identifying quantitative trait loci.- Talks about linkage (co-inheritance) studies to identify genes correlated to a disease. (we discussed Genome Wide Association Studies briefly in the most recent post on immunology)- Uses inbreeding and responses to drugs as examples/case-studies.- 26.
Applications of recombinant DNA technology- Talks about the present and future use of this technology in producing valuable molecules, in improving traits in agriculture (think Norman Borlaug saving a billion lives), and it's use in preventing and curing diseases.Preface:- First edition of the book 25 years ago was 'Principles of Gene Manipulation.' 'Principles of Genome Analysis' was a separate book.
Both were combined in this book as the methods and techniques for genetics and genomics now signifantly overlap.- The first part of the book is devoted to E. Coli, as it is the most thoroughly studied and therefore easiest for biologists to work with.
