This volume focuses on a group of diverse developmental processes
that have resisted incisive analysis when conventional genetic and
biochemical methodologies were employed. Relatively little is known
at the molecular level about these processes, but the contributors
have taken a firm stand by either presenting hypotheses or
suggesting new ways to approach research problems in their fields.
The authors describe new models and hypotheses for such complex
questions as: Embryos are biological clocks, but how do they keep
time? Oncogenes cause many tumors, even though they are, or are
related to, normal components of genomes. What is their normal
function? Morphogenesis is the acquisition or form by embryos, and
it is under strict genetic control. Nevertheless, no gene product
yet identified plays a direct role in these cellular movements. Why
has it not been found? Molecular Approaches to Supracellular
Phenomena will Interest students, scholars, and researchers in
developmental biology.
