Originally published in 2005‎,‎ this unique resource presents 27 easy‎-to‎-follow laboratory exercises for use in student practical classes in developmental biology‎.‎ These experiments provide key insights into developmental questions‎,‎ and many of them are described by the leaders in the field who carried out the original research‎.‎ This book intends to bridge the gap between experimental work and the laboratory classes taken at the undergraduate and post‎-graduate levels‎.‎ All chapters follow the same format‎,‎ taking the students from materials and methods‎,‎ through results and discussion‎,‎ so that they learn the underlying rationale and analysis employed in the research‎.‎ The book will be an invaluable resource for graduate students and instructors teaching practical developmental biology courses‎.‎ Chapters include teaching concepts‎,‎ discussion of the degree of difficulty of each experiment‎,‎ potential sources of failure‎,‎ as well as the time required for each experiment to be carried out in a class with students‎.‎
