Description
Unlike anything currently available in the market, Dr. Sally A. Moody and a team of world-renowned experts provide a groundbreaking view
of developmental genetics that will influence scientific approaches in embryology, comparative biology, as well as the newly emerging
fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Principles of Developmental Genetics highlights the intersection
of developmental biology with new revolutionary genomic technologies, and details how these advances have accelerated our understanding
of the molecular genetic processes that regulates development. This definitive resource provides researchers with the opportunity to
gain important insights into the clinical applicability of emerging new technologies and animal model data. This book is a must-have
for all researchers in genetics, developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and stem cell biology.
Audience
Advanced molecular, cell, developmental biologists and developmental geneticists, and clinical geneticists
