Molecular Principles of Animal Development

Authors: Alfonso Martinez Arias and Alison Stewart

Year: 2002

Molecular Principles of Animal Development by Alfonso Martinez-Arias and Alison Stewart is the only textbook in the field that focuses on the molecules and mechanisms that underlie the developmental process. Offering a compellingly modern way of looking at developmental biology, it reflects recent literature and the dramatic advances and changes in the field over the last decade. It works from the molecular and cellular principles up to the organism level, rather than the traditional top-down emphasis on the complete organism.
