Gene Expression At the Beginning of Animal Development

Klappentext Volumes in Advances in Developmental Biology and Biochemistry consider timely issues in this important subject area. They provide annual reviews of selected topics, written from the perspectives of leading investigators in the field and drawn heavily from each author's own research.This volume, Regulation of Gene Expression, focuses on the embryonic development of flies, mammals, and amphibians. Topics include spermatogenesis, oogenesis, pre-implantation development, cell cycle control, cell pattern formation, and genomic imprinting. Each essay will interest those involved in improving in vitro fertilization, developing preimplantation genetic diagnoses for various diseases, cloning animals by transplanting nuclei, and researching the use of embryonic stem cells to cure genetic diseases or replace damaged tissues.
