Summary

Focuses on the molecules and mechanisms, which underlie the developmental process, working from the molecular and cellular principles up to the complete organism, rather than the traditional top-down emphasis on the complete organism. This book's approach reflects literature and the advances in molecular biology.

Molecular Principles of Animal Development by Alfonso Martinez Arias

An advanced undergraduate textbook focusing on the molecules and mechanisms which underlie the developmental process. In recent years, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cellular behaviour have begun to be elucidated. Taking advantage of this new knowledge, Martinez Arias and Stewart here present developmental biology from a new standpoint: one in which the molecules and the genes that encode them, rather than the organisms, take centre stage. This is a compelling modern way of looking at developmental biology. Starting with the genetic programs that underlie development and working up allows a better understanding of the logic of development.
