The evolution of a classic

The new 12th edition of Introduction to Genetic Analysis takes this cornerstone textbook to the next level. The hallmark focuses on genetic analysis, quantitative problem solving, and experimentation continue in this new edition while incorporating robust updates to the science.

Introduction to Genetic Analysis is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for biology students. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.

Introduction to Genetic Analysis is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for biology students. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.

Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including
assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and
assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding content provides an unrivaled learning experience.

Achieve combines powerful automatically graded online homework with a convenient e-book and an extensive suite of engaging multimedia learning resources. Problems feature hints for when students get stuck, answer-specific feedback to help them learn from their mistakes, and solutions to reinforce what they’ve learned.
Achieve also includes tools to help students prepare for class and study for their exams. LearningCurve adaptive quizzing ties back to the e-book and is a great tool to help students learn basic concepts and do assigned readings before coming to lecture. Achieve also includes a wealth of multimedia and problem solving resources to help students make the most of their study time.

Introduction to Genetic Analysis continues to lead because of its rigorous problem sets and pedagogical support in the text. Highlights include:

  • Working with the Figures are questions that prompt students to examine book figures and tease out important information, understand the intricacies of an experimental protocol, relate concepts, or draw a conclusion about what is shown.
  • Unpacking the Problem (also available in Achieve) are step-by-step tutorials helping students approach a challenging problem. In the book, this is a list of questions shaped around “what do we know and what are we trying to find out”; in Achieve these are interactive tutorials that break the problems down into more approachable steps and build to the final answer.
  • NEW Genetics and Society Questions at the end of each chapter asking students to consider the societal relevance of a topic in the chapter; good for initiating classroom discussion.
  • Basic Problems are problem-solving or conceptual problems at varying levels for students to practice applying knowledge gained from the chapter.
  • Challenging Problems are more complex questions, sometimes requiring the application of knowledge from multiple sections of the chapter, or thought questions that spur discussion

Learning Objectives tied to the chapter sections titles, Key Concepts, and EOC questions to help create a learning path for the student (learning path is found in the study guide)

Key concepts - short highlighted features that summarize and reinforce important points from the text. Many more than in 11e, about one per B-head, so that students can always zero in on the relevance of a section.

Model Organism boxes describe key features of a model organism, in particular how it is used to study a particular system, what types of experiments are done with it, or why it serves as a good model for the studies described in the main text.

Numbered boxes go into more depth on a topic described in the text, such as the mathematical derivation behind a population genetics equation or how to map a centromere using linear tetrads.


Solved problems - a few sample problems showing students how to approach and solve the types of questions found in the EOC

New to This Edition

Introduction to Genetic Analysis is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for biology students. It houses all of our renowned assessments, multimedia assets, e-books, and instructor resources in a powerful new platform.

The 12th edition introduces two new co-authors to the team:

  • David Wassarman improved clarity and organization of the molecular genetics content through an extensive revision. mRNA degradation is new to this edition. RNAi and RNA silencing topics have been reorganized and revised for clarity. Genetics techniques in Chapters 10 and 14 have been updated to include CRISPR and next-generation sequencing techniques, among others.
  • Catherine Peichel brings a modern evolutionary genetics approach to Chapters 13, 17, and 20. She introduces the use of non-model organisms in evolutionary and developmental genetics research, and how modern genetics techniques allows these studies.

Content updates:

  • The molecular genetics chapters (7-12) have been heavily revised. As revised, they relate only the fundamental mechanics of molecular genetics, while keeping the experimental basis for how these discoveries were made. In particular, Chapter 8 now tells the life cycle of an RNA, from synthesis to decay, and includes important events such as mRNA editing, nucleotide modification, nuclear export, and decay (all not previously in IGA). Chapter 12 was also reorganized and streamlined to build from the roles of transcription factors in transcriptional regulation to the structure of chromatin and how chromatin modifications and chromatin rearrangement affect transcription in both short-term and long-term situations.
  • Genetics techniques updates. Chapter 10 (Gene Isolation and Manipulation) was updated to include more modern molecular genetics techniques, most notably CRISPR/Cas9. The chapter weaves the story of insulin as an example of how a human gene can be isolated and manipulated to allow its large-scale production for use in medicine. Katie updated Chapter 14 Genome and Genomics to include much-needed updates to next-generation sequencing techniques (e.g., Illumina sequencing) and bioinformatics approaches to analyzing human genomes.
  • Chapters 13, 17, and 20 have been updated to include more about non-model organisms. Modern genetics and genomics techniques allow the study of non-traditional model organisms, expanding the ability to study unique systems in the most representative organisms. Also new is an addition to the Model Organisms Appendix entitled, “Beyond Model Organisms.”

Chapter objectives - New to 12e, each chapter begins with a short (2-sentence paragraph) describing the goals of the chapter and placing the chapter topic into context of the surrounding chapters. This helps students “see the forest” before stepping into the “trees”.

Part introductions (core principles) - New to 12th edition, the three parts of the book (transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary genetics) begins with a short (3-5ish page) introduction outlining the core principles that undergird that segment of genetics. These help orient students by providing an overview of the themes they’ll encounter as they read each part.

Study guides - are short outlines of the Learning Objectives from each chapter, aligned with the relevant text, figures, and tables; key terms, key concepts, and EOC questions. Each LO found in the chapter is supported with a list of subtasks, the skills or understanding students should gain when reading the relevant sections of text. Using this study guide as a learning path, students can check that they’ve achieved the stated goals in each section, find gaps in their knowledge, and identify the sections they need to study in order to fill those gaps.
