Index
"Provides information for researchers working with Caenorhabditis
elegans, giving basic background on the organism's natural history,
anatomy, life cycle, and evolution, and then detailing methods for
using C. elegans in research. Tells how to obtain and grow C.
elegans, and discusses the C. elegans genome project,
transformation of C. elegans, reverse genetic techniques, analysis
of phenotypes by various methods, and approaches for studying gene
expression. Describes procedures for producing biochemically useful
preparations, and details conventional genetics procedures for
selfing and crossing, mutagenesis and mutant screening, gene
mapping, and mosaic analysis. Hope teaches biology at the
University of Leeds."--SciTech Book News
