From Gene to Animal: An Introduction to the Molecular Biology of Animal Development

This invaluable textbook introduces students to the molecular biology of animal development, drawing together elements from the fields of genetics, nucleic acid biochemistry and embryology. The genomic DNA, its packaging as chromatin, and its expression as RNA are considered in the first three chapters. A fourth chapter deals with the strategy of animal development in molecular terms. Three more specialized chapters examine the differentiation of red blood cells, the hormonal control of egg-protein production, and aspects of insect development.Pomerai, David De is the author of 'From Gene to Animal: An Introduction to the Molecular Biology of Animal Development' with ISBN 9780521278294 and ISBN 0521278295.
