The purpose of the first four volumes of the Handbook of Genetics
is to bring together collections of relatively short, authoritative
essays or an notated compilations of data on topics of significance
to geneticists. Many of the essays will deal with various aspects
of the biology of certain species or species groups selected
because they are favorite subjects for genetic investigation in
nature or the laboratory. Often there will be an encyclo pedic
amount of information available on such species, with new papers
appearing daily. Most of these will be written for specialists in a
jargon that is bewildering to a novice, and sometimes even to a
veteran geneticist working with evolutionarily distant organisms.
For such readers what is needed is a written introduction to the
morphology, life cycle, reproductive behavior, and culture methods
for the species in question. What are its particular advantages
(and disadvantages) for genetic study, and what have we learned
from it? Where are the classic papers, the key bibliogra phies, and
how does one get stocks of wild type or mutant strains? Lists
giving the symbolism and descriptions for selected mutants that
have been retained and are thus available for future studies are
provided whenever possible. Genetic and cytological maps, mitotic
karyotypes, and haploid DNA values are also included when
available. The chapters in this volume deal with invertebrate
species that are favorites of geneticists. Attempts to obtain a
chapter dealing with the genetics of Caenorhabditis elegans proved
unsuccessful.
