Description
The authors’ approach is the idea that understanding how genes control cell behavior is the key to understanding development. Resisting the temptation to cover every aspect of developmental biology, the authors have instead focused on those systems that best illuminate common principles. The theme is that universal principles govern the process of development. The text also focuses on vertebrates and Drosophila, but without excluding other systems, such as the nematode and the sea urchin. Another feature is the inclusion of the development of plants--usually neglected in other textbooks.
