Genetics: Analysis and Principles, 8th Edition, is a textbook written by Robert Brooker. The volume examines foundational inheritance patterns, the molecular properties of genes, and the genetic dynamics of populations.
Major areas of coverage include chromosome transmission during reproduction, the mechanisms controlling gene expression, and contemporary genetic technologies. The text addresses how genetic traits are inherited and highlights modern analytical tools such as bioinformatics.
Brooker earned his doctorate from Yale University, studied lactose permease at Harvard, and serves as a professor in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development at the University of Minnesota. He continues research on transporters and instructs undergraduate classes in biology, genetics, and cell biology.
