Imaginal Discs : The Genetic and Cellular Logic of Pattern Formation (Developmental and Cell Biology Series)

Editorial Reviews
Review
' ... figures and their legends ... packed full of more information than most text books. The appendices, especially the compendia of genes affecting particular processes are useful. Imaginal Discs would be a useful read for anyone interested in pattern formation generally, and should be required for workers in Drosophila patterning.' BioEssays

Book Description
This book examines the genetic circuitry of the well-known "fruit fly," tackling questions of cell assemblage and pattern formation, of the hows and the whys behind the development of the fly. After an initial examination of the proximity versus pedigree imperatives, the volume delves into bristle pattern formation and disc development, with entire chapters devoted to the leg, wing, and eye. Extensive appendices include a glossary of protein domains, catalogs of well-studied genes, and an outline of signaling pathways. More than 30 wiring diagrams among over 60 detailed schematics clarify the text.
