Molecular Genetics of Drosophila Oogenesis

Download or read book Molecular Genetics of Drosophila Oogenesis written by Paul F. Lasko and published by R. G. Landes. This book was released on 1994 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genetic development of eggs in fruit fly (Drosophilia) is the most important model used by developmental biologists in understanding how we go from a fertilized egg to a fully developed organism. Insights into fruit fly genetics have also begun to provide an idea as to how humans develop. This text amasses and organizes information on nearly 400 genes affecting the origin and development of ova. It should aid understanding of the crucial processes in organisms development.
