Books for your emphasis

Members do not see this ad.

So I was thinking what books do you consider the bible or required for your emphasis in Genetics, Cell Biology, etc?

Mine (I am interested in cell biology):


Molecular Biology of the Cell 2003 edition (Plan to Update my edition)
Molecular Biology of the Gene 2008 edition
Lehningers Biochemistry 4th Edition. (Plan to Update my edition)

Beware updating to the new Alberts edition. The last 5 chapters are pdf only, apparently in an attempt to make the text more "student friendly" or transportable. So if you're mostly reading those chapters, make sure to get the Teacher Edition (which I believe has all the chapters in hardcopy) or just stick with the 4th Edition.

I found the full edition online today. I am not a fan of PDFs or having the book on DVD technology -- it gets outdated quicker. I feel its the company's attempt to make more money off of poor students or researchers.

 

[Katatonic]

Yeah, I really wish I would have thought about that before buying the 5th so I could've gotten the all-paper edition. Plus, I still have the 4th so I couldn't waited a bit longer but I was excited for the new one haha.

I have genes ix and viii. some of the chapters were thrown out in ix for some odd reason. I have lehninger on pdf and that blue cell biology book.
