Summary: Good summary and very helpful
Comment: This book is a good summary of genetics but one will need to read another book in conjunction with this one. It is great for quick reference and will suit students well as a study aid, as the authors give a set of key notes at the beginning of each chapter. The authors avoid any discussion of highly advanced topics, but instead emphasize the raw basics. However, they don't leave out some of the more exciting topics, such as population genetics, cloning, gene therapies, and the human genome project. The order of presentation is logical, with the properties of DNA beginning the book, with Mendel's laws explained based on the genetic code. In addition, this reductionist approach to explaining the biology of organisms is one that is most compatible with the requirements of sequence analysis and algorithms in computational biology. As such, this is a good set of notes for mathematicians who are moving into the area of sequence analysis and need a background in genetics.

Summary: brief and concise reference
Comment: As the title suggests,this is not meant to be a textbook of genetics.The basic purpose of this book is to put across key points and concepts in a simple,concise fashion for easy understanding. This book is most useful if you already have some exposure to genetics through classes or more traditional texts.

The strength of this book lies in its clear,brief and logical presentation of topics with good cross referencing.It would be especially useful to students before examinations when reading through lengthy texts or notes is not practical
