Publisher's Synopsis
"Oxford Surveys on Eukaryotic Genes" was established to provide a forum for authoritative reviews of particular genes or gene families. In a rapidly developing field where new findings are published in a vast range of journals, there was a need to draw information together in such a way that it could be accessible especially to the non-specialist reader.;In this, as in previous volumes, the authors are carefully chosen to represent the forefront of research. Their chapters focus on particular genes or gene families whose structure or function is better understood as a result of recent experimental results. They review findings from their own laboratories, as well as giving an up-to-date account of the work of other groups. These reviews will be valuable reference sources for scientists working in molecular genetics, biochemistry genetics, immunology and developmental biology and should also be useful for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
