Preface to the 8th edition This edition of GENES marks the most significant reorganization for several editions. It is time to acknowledge that the power of direct analysis of the genome is making a significant difference to our approach. This is now recognized in the first part of GENES, which starts with the concept of the gene as a segment of DNA coding for protein and then proceeds directly to the characterization of the genome in terms of its content of genes. The rapidity of our advance in analyzing the genome has led to some confusion about means and ends. A genome is no more than the sum of the genes it contains, although the number and complexity of these genes give us important insights into the nature of their connection into regulatory networks. The focus of this book, as its name suggests, therefore remains firmly on the gene. The thesis of GENES is that only by understanding the structure and function of the gene itself will we be able in turn to understand the operation of the genome as a whole. Although the emphasis has shifted to the characterization of eukaryotic genes, and therefore to their analysis by the direct techniques of molecular biology rather than the subtlety of genetics, the classical approach remains intellectually penetrating. It remains an aim of this book to integrate both approaches in the context of a unified approach to prokaryotes and eukaryotes. We consider the gene from all aspects: the basic forms that it takes, the numbers and relationships among genes in a genome, their packaging into chromosomes, the process of gene expression from transcription through translation, the reproduction and safeguarding of the structure of the gene, and finally some aspects of the overall circuitry through which genotype determines phenotype. Almost two decades after the first edition of GENES, this latest edition is a celebration of the remarkable progress during that time, and, I hope, an indication of the future to come.
