Principles of Developmental Genetics

Principles of Developmental Genetics, 2nd Edition, is a textbook examining normal development in embryonic and prenatal animals, including humans. The volume covers major events in early embryogenesis alongside the organogenesis of specific body systems.

Core themes include developmental cell signaling, systems biology, stem cell biology, and laboratory methods in genomics and mutagenesis. The text also integrates representative clinical syndromes, connecting basic developmental mechanisms to embryonic and prenatal disorders.

Featuring a full-color design with bulleted summaries of primary takeaways and clinical pathways, the textbook is intended for cell and developmental biologists, developmental geneticists, stem cell researchers, evo-devo biologists, and clinical scientists.
