Comprehensive and detailed, this book combines background information with the most recentinsights. It introduces current concepts, emphasizing the transcriptional control of genetic information. Moreover, it links data on the structure of regulatory proteins with basic cellular processes. Both advanced students and experts will find answers to such intriguing questions as:
- How are programs of specific gene repertoires activated and controlled?
- Which genes drive and control morphogenesis?
- Which genes govern tissue-specific tasks?
- How do hormones control gene expression in coordinating the activities of different tissues?
An abundant number of clearly presented glossary terms facilitates understanding of the biological background.
Speacial feature: over 2200 (!) literature references.
