    …(http://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Genetics-Bacteria-Snyder/dp/...). As you'd expect, it's very focused on Bacteria, but it's current and goes all the way from the basic to the very in-depth. Edit: Oh! And how could I forget Lodish (http://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Cell-Biology-Harvey-Lodish/d...)? Also very good...

    I opted to take 2 intro to bioengineering courses during my computer engineering degree. We basically covered "Molecular Cell Biology" by Lodish. I really liked the courses. It was a bit hard getting used to reading the published papers, but I learned a lot.

    …I pretty much just read the textbooks directly and used Wikipedia for supplementary reading. I donate (nearly) every year to Wikipedia because I would not have graduated without it. This is the exact Molecular Cell Biology text we were assigned a decade ago (though I’d imagine it’s significantly updated now): https://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Cell-Biology-Lodish/dp/0716... The first principles of a an education in biochemistry…
