Publisher's Synopsis
Drosophilia melanogaster: Practical Uses in Cell and Molecular Biology is a compendium of mostly short technical chapters designed to provide state-of-the-art methods to the broad community of cell biologists, and to put molecular and cell biological stidues of flies into perspective. The book makes the baroque aspects of genetic nomenclature and procedure accessible to cell biologists. It also contains a wealth of technical information for beginning or advanced Drosophila workers. Chapters, written with in a year of publication, make this topical volume a valuable laboratory guide today and an excellent general reference for the future.;Features: * Collection of ready-to-use, state-of-the-art methods for modern cell biological and related research using Drosophila melanogaster * Accessible to both experiences Drosophila researchers and to others who wish to join in at the cutting edge of this system * Drosophila offer an easily managed life cycle, inexpensive lifestyle, extraordinary manipulable molecular and classical genetics, now combined with powerful new cell biology techniques * Introduction and overview sections orient the user to the Drosophila literature and lore * Six four-colour plates and over 100 figures and tables ehance the understanding of these biology techniques
