Description
Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Marine Model Organisms in Experimental Biology Established and Emerging 2021 Edition by Agnes Boutet, Bernd Schierwater
The importance of molecular approaches for comparative biology and the rapid development of new molecular tools is unprecedented. The extraordinary molecular progress belies the need for understanding the development and basic biology of whole organisms. Vigorous international efforts to train the next-generation of experimental biologists must combine both levels - next generation molecular approaches and traditional organismal biology. This book provides cutting-edge chapters regarding the growing list of marine model organisms. Access to and practical advice on these model organisms have become a conditio sine qua non for a modern education of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and postdocs working on marine model systems. Model organisms are not only tools they are also bridges between fields - from behavior, development and physiology to functional genomics. Key FeaturesOffers deep insights into cutting-edge model system scienceProvides in-depth overviews of all prominent marine model organismsIllustrates challenging experimental approaches to model system researchServes as a reference book also for next-generation functional genomics applicationsFills an urgent need for studentsRelated TitlesJarret, R.
