Caenorhibditus Elegans: Modern Biological Analysis of an Organism (Volume 48) (Methods in Cell Biology, Volume 48) - Hardcover

This laboratory handbook emphasizes diverse methods and technologies needed to investigate C.elegans, both as an integrated organism and as a model system for research inquiries in cell, developmental, and molecular biology, as well as in genetics and pharmacology. Four primary sections cross disciplines in this volume's integrated approach to C.elegans: genetic and culture methods, neurobiology, cell and molecular biology, and genomics and informatics. Because C.elegans is a simple and malleable organism with a small genome and few cell types, it provides an elegant demonstration of functions fundamental to multicellular organisms. By directing its audience not just to tried-and-true recipes for research, but also to databases and other sources of information, this collection is intended to guide investigators of C.elegans.
