Klappentext
Four of the major animal systems studied for the mechanisms
of their early embryonic development are treated in this
volume. The articles address the specific questions studied
in the various systems, discuss the fundamental questions
raised by the particular organism and explain the techniques
used to find answers to these questions. Questions of
patternformation, early organogenesis and the genetics of
the early development arecovered as well as the question of
parental imprinting phenomena in mammals which are important
for the early differentiation. The development of the mouse,
Drosophila, Caenorhabditis and the zebrafish is emphasized
by leading experts of their fields, and current problems in
each system are exposed. For the zebrafish the advantages of
this new system for developmental biology studies are
summarized and discussed in their values, while in the other
system the emphasis is laid on one of the actual field of
research.
