Gene Regulatory Mechanisms in Development and Evolution: Insights from Echinoderms

Sea urchins and other echinoderms, which have been studied intensively by developmental biologists for more than a century, are currently among the most prominent models for elucidating the genomic regulatory processes that control embryogenesis and the evolution of those processes. This volume contains reviews from the world''s leading researchers who are using echinoderms to address these quest...
