MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Hox Gene Expression starts with the amazing discovery of the homeobox twenty-three years ago and follows the exciting path thereafter of a series of breakthroughs in Genetics, Development and Evolution. It deals with homeotic genes, their evolution, structure, normal and abnormal function. Researchers and graduate students in biology and medicine will benefit from this integrated overview of Hox gene activities.
Feature:
First book with a focus on Hox gene expressions in developmental biology
Cross-disciplinary appeal
Can be used as supplementary textbook in Biology and Medicine for graduate students
