Experimental Developmental Biology: A Laboratory Manual

von Laura R. Keller Kategorie: Entwicklungsbiologie ISBN: 0124039707 Kommentar abgeben

Kurzbeschreibung Experimental Developmental Biology: A Laboratory Manual is designed for use as a lab manual in college-level courses in developmental biology or animal development. It could also be used in cell biology lab courses. In each laboratory exercise, students examine gametes and developing embryos of a single species, and also perform several experiments to probe the developmental processes best illustrated by that species. A special feature of this manual is the extensive preparator's guide, which provides ample information for setting up each lab. This is the most practical lab manual to illustrate the fundamental principles of developmental biology to date. Includes exercises in studying living embryos of sea urchins, frogs, chicks, Drosophila, and spongesCombines classical embryology with modern experimental approachesIn-depth experiments in each exercise focus on a single species of organismWritten in a simple, clear styleContains references for background and further study provided for each exerciseDetailed guide for resources and preparation of each experiment in AppendixGuides for writing lab notes and reports
