Introductory Genetics: A Primer for the Flipped Classroom was created to meet the needs of undergraduate students and instructors who favor a concise and focused approach to learning genetics. The text emphasizes foundational genetic concepts explained from a molecular perspective and utilizing the appropriate technical language that is relevant to current scientific discourse.

The book covers the structure of DNA and genomes, gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, regulation of gene expression, Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, and linkage. It describes DNA replication, transcription and translation, genetic mutation, various molecular techniques, and includes a chapter devoted to the structure of the human genome. The text's logical framework helps students better understand how diverse genetic concepts interconnect.

Introductory Genetics is ideal for undergraduate courses in the discipline, particularly those that incorporate flipped classroom strategies where students are expected to engage with content before class to actively apply concepts during in-person sessions.
