Description for Practical Guide to Developmental Biology
paperback. This lab manual is designed to give students experience with a wide variety of model systems currently in use by developmental biologists. Experiments range from classic slide or whole animal observations to more modern immunohistochemistry and manipulation of gene expression. All of these experiments can be completed on a relatively small budget. Num Pages: 128 pages, numerous line figures and diagrams. BIC Classification: PSC; PSD; PSF; PSPM. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 244 x 191 x 8. Weight in Grams: 254.
This lab manual is designed for upper level undergraduates or graduate students, to introduce them to the field of developmental biology. After spending two weeks learning how to handle and manipulate a variety of embryonic organisms, students will begin a series of experiments that more or less keep pace with the sequence of most developmental biology textbooks (axial patterning, plant cell totipotency, fertilization, early plant development, morphogenesis, cell adhesion, embryogenesis, gametogenesis, regeneration and metamorphosis. The manual is heavily illustrated and gives students a solid grounding in classic developmental biology as well as modern techniques in immunohistochemistry and homeobox gene expression. ...

About Melissa Ann Gibbs
I am the daughter of a neuroscientist father and a biology-inclined mother. In large part due to the influence of my parents, I'd planned to be a marine biologist since my early teens. At UC Santa Cruz, I pursued a degree in Marine Biology and became very interested in sensory systems of deep sea fish. My master's degree work ... Read more
Reviews for Practical Guide to Developmental Biology
All in all a clearly written laboratory aid that should prove highly useful to those involved in developmental biology.
