“Together, the authors have created a text that should become a classic in science. DNA Replication is much more than a summary of the field: it is an excellent reference book on DNA and nucleic-acid enzymes, and every molecular laboratory should have a copy for easy access to the principles underlying today’s DNA technology…The book is an excellent resource for graduate teaching and should also be a useful source of background material for undergraduate courses in biochemistry…In areas that I know best, I was impressed by the accuracy of the information and the thoughtfulness of the discussions.”
-Nature, Review by Sue Wicker, NIH

“Authoritative yet lucid accounts of a dynamic and ever-expanding field…students and experts alike should benefit from having a desk copy.”
-J. Wang, Harvard University
