Descrizione del libro

This 2005 text comprises 27 laboratory exercises for courses in developmental biology. These are experiments that provided insights into developmental questions, many of them presented by the scientists who carried out the original research. This book bridges experimental work and the laboratory classes taken at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
