Of Fish, Fly, Worm and Man: Lessons from Developmental Biology for Human Gene Function and Disease (Ernst Schering Foundation Symposium Proceedings)

With the sequencing of several entire genomes, including that of Caenorrhabditis elegans, completed, the stage is set for the next phase of "large-scale" biology, the identification of the functionality of, & the interplay between, all genes & their protein products. The aim of the ESRF Workshop 29 & hence of this book was to review the models, the powerful methodology, & selected achievements of developmental biology, which has in the past two decades not only unveiled basic molecular mechanisms of ontogenesis, but also made important contributions to deciphering signal transduction pathways with general relevance to adult vertebrate physiology & ultimately to understanding mechanisms of pathogenesis.Of Fish, Fly, Worm and Man: Lessons from Developmental Biology for Human Gene Function and Disease (Ernst Schering Foundation Symposium Proceedings), was published 2000 under ISBN 9783540663249 and ISBN 354066324X.
