剧集改编自理查德·普雷斯顿所著的有关埃博拉病毒及其对人类影响的畅销书。1989年，埃博拉病毒突然出现在华盛顿郊区一个科学实验室的黑猩猩身上，且当时并没有已知的治疗方法。英勇的美军兽医(玛格丽丝饰)与一支秘密军事特警队合作，在疫情蔓延到人类之前，她试图阻止，但这却让她陷入了致命危险。

Every student package automatically includes a CD-ROM and access to a website containing tutorials, molecular models, and more.
The long-awaited Fifth Edition of James D. Watson's classic text, Molecular Biology of the Gene, has been thoroughly revised and is published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Watson and Crick's paper on the structure of the DNA double- helix.
Despite being completely updated, the new edition retains the distinctive character of earlier editions that made it the most widely used book in molecular biology. Twenty-one concise chapters, co-authored by five highly respected molecular biologists, provide current, authoritative coverage of a fast-changing discipline. The completely new art is printed in full colour for the first time.
Divided into four parts, the first (Genetics and Chemistry) begins with an overview of molecular biology, placing the discipline in historical context and introducing the basic chemical concepts that underpin our description of molecular biology today. The second part (Central Dogma) forms the heart of the book, describing in detail the basic mechanisms of molecular biology. The third part of the book (Regulation) deals with how gene expression is regulated - from the examination of basic mechanisms that regulate gene expression in bacterial and eukaryotic systems, to a description of how regulation of gene expression lies at the heart of the process of development. Recent findings from sequencing whole genomes of several animals have revealed that they all share essentially the same genes. The last chapter in the regulation section looks at how changes in gene regulation can account for how different animals can be made from the same genes. The final part of the book (Methods) deals with the techniques and methods used in molecular biology.

[Features]
Early chapters on chemical and molecular interactions give a richer context to the material that follows and stress the importance of weak chemical interactions in biology.
The text has balanced coverage of prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems.
Important experiments and techniques relevant to chapter concepts are revealed in boxes in every chapter. These include recent techniques from the fields of genomics and bioinformatics.
Quantitative and critical thinking end-of-chapter questions allow students to apply their knowledge of the chapters key concepts.
An all new art programme features more than 750 line drawings in full colour. In addition, the art in the text has been integrated into animations on the accompanying CD-ROM and website.
The lively, incisive writing style that characterized earlier editions is once again a hallmark in the new edition.
Integrated media helps students better understand complex structures and molecular interactions. The CD-ROM and website offer animated tutorials, critical thinking exercises, and 3-D interactive molecular models in Chime.

Dealing with dynamics of processes that repeat themselves regularly, this revised and updated edition extends the thread from 1980 to the present day, concentrating on areas of interest where there will be much activity in the future. This involves going through spatial biochemical, electrophysiological, and organismic dynamical systems and patterns that were discovered by pursuing the theme of phase singularities introduced in the original book. In particular, the work on excitability in cell membranes will be thoroughly updated as will the references throughout the book.

Essential Cell Biology provides an accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of cell biology. Its lively writing and exceptional illustrations make it the ideal textbook for a first course in cell and molecular biology. The text and figures are easy-to-follow, accurate, clear, and engaging for the introductory student. Molecular detail has been kept to a minimum in order to provide the reader with a cohesive, conceptual framework of the basic science that underlies our current understanding of biology. The Third Edition is thoroughly updated scientifically, yet maintains the academic level and size of the previous edition. The book is accompanied by a Media DVD-ROM with over 130 animations and videos, all the figures from the book, and a new self-test quizzing feature for students.
