Opis

An updated edition of the classic Methods in Cell Biology volume 48, this book emphasizes diverse methods and technologies needed to investigate C. elegans, both as an integrated organism and as a model system for research inquiries in cell, developmental, and molecular biology, as well as in genetics and pharmacology. By directing its audience to tried-and-true and cutting-edge recipes for research, this comprehensive collection is intended to guide investigators of C. elegans for years to come.

• Diverse, up-to-date techniques covered will be useful to the broadening community of C. elegans researchers for years to come
• Chapters written by leaders in the field
• Tried and true methods deliver busy researchers a one-stop compendium of essential protocols
