I was more looking for the functions of DNA in the generation of proteins but this book was more about the structure of DNA more than anything else. It's very comprehensive, a little bit difficult for me since it involves a lot of calculations for the DNA's lengths and the different arrangements. Nonetheless, it was a very useful text book for understanding DNA (and not its functions).

A lot of the material in this book was over my head. But in between the bits I didn't understand, I found the information I was looking for.
