The advent of molecular biology and the current analysis of key genes that control specific developmental processes have brought significant new advances in understanding developmental mechanisms. This timely text focuses on the importance of genetics in analysing pattern formation and growth patterns. Experts have contributed their wealth of knowledge on such topics as the origin of polarity; establishment of cell fate; the use of transgenic organisms in the study of development; recent approaches for both introducing mutations with high frequency by mobilizing transposons and for getting targeted mutagenesis.
