Handbook of Marine Model Organisms in Experimental Biology : : Established and Emerging / / Agnes Boutet, Bernd Schierwater, editors.

"The importance of molecular approaches for comparative biology and the rapid development of new molecular tools is unprecedented. The extraordinary molecular progress belies the need for understanding the development and basic biology of whole organisms. Vigorous international efforts to train...
