Higgins (biochemistry and molecular genetics, U. of Alabama at Birmingham) and contributors offer 29 papers updating the 1990 publication of the same name and 1999's Organization of the Prokaryotic Genome. They present research that includes an array of experimental technologies to study genome function, chromosome dynamics, DNA replication, recombination and repair, and other aspects of study. Umbrella topics include genetic and physical structure, replication and transcription machines, homologous recombination-repair machines, and nonhomologous recombination. Each paper includes resources and the editor provides a general index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
