A good teacher aims to uncover a subject, not cover it. So said a wise former teacher of mine. In revising Essential Genetics and Genomics, Seventh Edition , Ive tried to heed this advice. To un cover a subject means to expose, exhibit, unveil. To help un cover genetics, this new edition is:

• Streamlined , with emphasis on concepts illuminated by vivid example and stripped of extraneous detail

• Focused , with Learning Objectives stated explicitly at the beginning of each chapter

• Skills oriented , with Stop & Think problems inserted at strategic points in the text to enhance the reading experience and encourage higherorder, analytical thinking.

The brevity of the text meets the needs of the shorter, less comprehensive introductory course of one semester or quarter. The choice of topics is intended to help students master the following scientific competencies:

• Understand the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation.

• Analyze genetic processes using numerical relationships including ratios and proportions.

• Learn to formulate genetic hypotheses in a statistical framework, work out their consequences, and test the results against observed data.

• Develop basic skills in problem solving, including single-concept exercises, those requiring the application of several concepts in logical order, and numerical problems requiring some arithmetic for solution.

• Interpret genetic data and make valid inferences to reveal the underlying causes.

• Acquire an appreciation of current trends in genetics, as well as the social and historical context in which genetics has developed.
