From DNA to Diversity represents the definitive synthesis of the new material on developmental genetics and evolutionary biology. Written by the most respected, author team, this text will be the monumental work for shaping the field.
- Focus on those genes, developmental processes and taxa best known and that best illustrate general principles - Keeps the book simple and useable in class.
- Two parts: developmental genetics and regulatory mechanisms and second, delineates possible genetic mechanisms of evol. change and examines evolution at different genetic and morphological levels - Builds understanding logically.
- Case study approach of best understood examples - Provides in depth focus on concepts.
- Four colour illustrations and photographs - Abstract theoretical becomes realistic.
- Chapter summaries and references - Provides textbook style help for students.

Book Description
This extensively revised second edition delves into the latest genetic discoveries, incorporating new coverage of comparative genomics, molecular evolution of regulatory proteins and elements, and microevolution of animal development. An engaging style, clear, four-color illustrations, and up-to-date content all combine to make this book a highly accessible and definitive synthesis of the field. This accessible book builds logically from developmental genetics and regulatory mechanisms to evolution at different genetic morphological levels. It provides in-depth focus on key concepts through well-developed case studies, chapter summaries, references, and a glossary.
From the Back Cover
Animals diverge from common ancestry through changes in their DNA, but what are the genes that control morphology? In this landmark work, the author team lead by Dr. Sean Carroll presents the general principles of the genetic basis of morphological change through a synthesis of evolutionary biology with genetics and embryology. The history of animal evolution, model system developmental genetics, and genetic regulatory mechanisms are first addressed, and then case studies of evolutionary change at different genetic and morphological levels are examined.
