[PDF] Developmental Biology Protocols – Rocky S. Tuan and Cecilia W. Lo

The fast-growing field of developmental biology provides a unifying framework that integrates anatomy, physiology, genetics, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, as well as evolutionary biology. The number of “reference” publications that deal specifically with the practical aspects of experimental developmental biology are relatively scarce. Developmental Biology Protocols grows out of this need for a comprehensive laboratory manual that provides the readers with the principles, background, rationale, as well as practical protocols, for studying and analyzing the events of embryonic development. Its highly practical format and wide range of model systems and multidisciplinary experimental techniques attest to the authors’ determination to provide a balanced presentation of both background information and actual laboratory details. This three-volume compilation of relevant and useful information will be a well-utilized resource for both the students and teachers of developmental biology at all levels.
