    GENE ACTIVITY IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT 2nd Edition First published in 1968 and now connpletely revised and updated. Gene Activity in Early Development pro¬ vides a novel and critical treatment of selected key topics in the molecular biology of animal develop¬ ment. This book was used extensively in its first ver¬ sion as an upper level textbook arxJ critical literature review. It is intended for those who require an authori¬ tative interpretation of the vast accumulation of data presented in scientific journals. The emphasis is on the role of the genetic apparatus in the processes of oogenesis and early embryogenesis. Thus the molecu¬ lar biology of nucleic acids and proteins in developing systems is a central issue in this book. The author includes a general summary of renaturation and hybridization kinetics and a quantitative review of data on nucleic acid synthesis and turnover, and pro¬ tein synthesis during early embryogenesis. The author is a prominent research contributor in the nnolecular biology of early development, and the book provides an up-to-date and sophisticated technical re¬ view of the field. It provides one of the few profes¬ sional level syntheses of this subject available. The book will be extremely valuable to research molecular biologists and biochemists concerned with the pro¬ cesses of development, to upper level students in developmental and general eukaryote molecular biol¬ ogy, and to scientists in other areas of biology.
