FROM DNA TO DIVERSITY
Molecular Genetics and the Evolution of Animal Design
Sean Carroll, Jennifer Grenier, Scott Weatherbee
available January 1, 2001

From DNA to Diversity represents the definitive synthesis of the new material on developmental genetics and evolutionary biology. Written by the most 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.
