First published in 1976, IGA set the standard for introducing students to genetic analysis and quickly established itself as the premier book in the market. The authors span the breadth of contemporary genetics, bringing a wealth of experience from the world's leading research laboratories. To help students understand the essentials of genetics, the authors vividly recreate the landmark experiments, teach them how to analyze data, and how to draw their own conclusions.
