C. Elegans II: Monograph 33 (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph Series)

Defines the current status of research in the genetics, anatomy, and development of the nematode C. elegans , providing a detailed molecular explanation of how development is regulated and how the nervous system specifies varied aspects of behavior. Contains sections on the genome, development, neural networks and behavior, and life history and evolution. Appendices offer genetic nomenclature, a list of laboratory strain and allele designations, skeleton genetic maps, a list of characterized genes, a table of neurotransmitter assignments for specific neurons, and information on codon usage. Includes b&w photos. For researchers in worm studies, as well as the wider community of researchers in cell and molecular biology. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
