Principles of Developmental Genetics (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

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.

. Includes new research not previously published in any other book on the molecular genetic
processes that regulates development
. Chapters present a broad understanding on the application of animal model systems, allowing
researchers to better treat clinical disorders and comprehend human development
. Relates the application of new technologies to the manipulation of stem cells, causes of
human birth defects, and several human disease conditions
. Each chapter includes a bulleted summary highlighting clinical aspects of animal models

Autor

Sally A. Moody is Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the George Washington University Medical Center, and a member of both the Neuroscience and Genetics programs. Prior to this appointment she was on the faculty of the Anatomy and Cell Biology Department, the Department of Neuroscience, and the Developmental Biology program at the University of Virginia. She trained in developmental neurobiology at the University of Florida's Department of Neuroscience and the University of Utah's Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy. Dr. Moody's current research focuses on the cascade of interactions that instruct lineages to give rise to the frog nervous system. She has taught developmental neurobiology in the MBL "Neurobiology" course and was co-director of the "Early Development of Xenopus Laevis" course at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. She has also served on many National Institute of Health advisory committees dealing with issues in developmental biology and developmental neurob

iology, and served on the Board of Trustees of the Society for Developmental Biology.
