Studies of the cells and genes of the nematode C. elegans have become a cornerstone of current biology. A classic 1988 Cold Spring Harbor monograph, The Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, described the basic genetics, anatomy and development of the organism. Now, in that authoritative tradition, comes C. elegans II not a second edition but a book that breaks new ground and defines the current status of the field, providing a detailed molecular explanation of how development is regulated and the nervous system specifies varied aspects of behavior. This volume is a must for any investigator doing worm studies but it has been written and rigorously edited to illuminate for a wider community of investigators in cell and molecular biology who should know how new knowledge of C. elegans relates to their own specialty.

This review is from: C. Elegans II (Paperback)
There have been many important discoveries in the biology of C. elegans and other model organisms in the 10+ years since this book was published. However, this is still an excellent resource for the basic biology and genetics of C. elegans. A must-have for any nematologist or newbie in C. elegans molecular biology.
