About the Book

This series was established to create comprehensive treatises on specific topics in developmental biology. Such volumes serve a useful role in developmental biology, since it is a very diverse field that receives contributions from a wide variety of disciplines. This series is a meeting-ground for the various practi- tioners of this science, facilitating an integration of heterogeneous information on specific topics. Each volume is intended to provide the conceptual basis for a comprehen- sive understanding of its topic as well as an analysis of the key experiments upon which that understanding is based. The specialist in any aspect of devel- opmental biology should understand the experimental background of the field and be able to place that body of information in context to ascertain where additional research would be fruitful. At that point, the creative process gener- ates new experiments. This series is intended to be a vital link in that ongoing process of learning and discovery.
