内容説明
From DNA to Diversity represents the definitive synthesis of new material on developmental genetics and evolutionary biology. Written by a highly respected author team, this text will be the monumental work for shaping the field. Animals diverge from common ancestry through changes in their DNA, but what are the genes that control morphology? In this landmark work, the author team lead by Dr. Sean Carroll presents the general principles of the genetic basis of morphological change through a synthesis of evolutionary biology with genetics and embryology. The history of animal evolution, model system developmental genetics, and genetic regulatory mechanisms are first addressed, and then case studies of evolutionary change at different genetic and morphological levels are examined.
