"…this is a useful resource that many institutions, academic departments, and laboratories may consider having on their reference shelves." (Clinical Chemistry, October 2005)

"…essential for students, faculty, and researchers in genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology, and microbiology…" (CHOICE, March 2005)

From reviews of the previous edition:
"...this book should be available within hand's reach for everyone who is enthusiastically involved with molecular biology and gene technology" (Angewandte Chemie)

"This book is much more than what its concise title implies - it is more than a mere dictionary, in the sense of a collection of terms and acronyms, but rather a self-sufficient research tool, an illuminating read, and in fact an entire encyclopedia for the post-genomic era." (Trends in Molecular Medicine)

"This precious piece cannot be missed in any library or laboratory, nor on any desk!" (BioTec)
