A Textbook Of Biotechnology Volume 1 Genetics And Molecular Biology by Rehana Khan

The book is intended for undergraduate students of pure and applied sciences for Indian universities. A Textbook of Biotechnology which may cover all the major domains of human activity and welfare ranging from agriculture to medicine and environment was long awaited. This book is a successful attempt in this direction.
