Imaginal Discs : The Genetic and Cellular Logic of Pattern Formation

Omtale

This book examines the genetic circuitry of the well-known 'fruit fly'. It looks at the proximity versus pedigree imperatives, bristle pattern formation and disc development, and has entire chapters devoted to the leg, wing, and eye. Appendices include a glossary of protein domains and catalogues of well-studied genes. More than 60 detailed schematics clarify the text.
