Description

Principles of Genetics is one of the most popular texts in use for the introductory
course. It opens a window on the rapidly advancing science of genetics by
showing exactly how genetics is done. Throughout, the authors incorporate a
human emphasis and highlight the role of geneticists to keep students interested
and motivated. The sixth edition has been updated to reflect the latest

About the Author

D. Peter Snustad is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota, Twin

Cities. He received his B.S. degree at the University of Minnesota and his M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Davis. He began his faculty career
in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics at Minnesota in 1965, became
a charter member of the new Department of Genetics in 1966, and moved to the
Department of Plant Biology in 2000. During his 43 years at Minnesota, he taught
courses ranging from general biology to biochemical genetics. His initial research
focused on the interactions between bacteriophage T4 and its host, E. coli. In the
1980s , his research switched to the cytoskeleton of Arabidopis and the glutamine
synthetase genes of corn. His honors include the Morse-Amoco and Dangley
Memorial teaching awards and election to Fellow of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science. A lifelong love of the Canadian wilderness has kept
him in nearby Minnesota.
Michael J. Simmons is a Professor in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and

degree in biology from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and his M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees in genetics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Dr.
Simmons has taught a variety of courses, including genetics and population
genetics. He has also mentored many students on research projects in his
laboratory. Early in his career he received the Morse- Amoco teaching award from
the University of Minnesota in recognition of his contributions to undergraduate
education. Dr. Simmon's research focuses on the genetic significance of
transposable elements in the genome of Drosophilia melanogaster. He has served
on advisory committees at the National Institutes of Health and was a member of
the Editorial Board of the journal Genetics for 21 years. One of his favorite
