University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Lewin has been an unquestioned authority in the area of eukaryotic and prokaryotic gene expression for more than two decades. His written work is clear, unambiguous, and meticulous with respect to detail. I have learned many things from the "Genes" series over the years and use this book in one of the upper-division classes that I teach. Although the material is not always easy to read, I assure the students that there is no better source of accurate information than Genes IX. For those students engaged in undergraduate research in my lab, this book has been an invaluable resource for the design of experiments and for the interpretation of the resulting data.
