"...vivid account of how cis-regulatory DNA integrates complex signals to control the on/off activities of gene batteries during metazoan development..."
Review
"Davidson provides a vivid account of how cis-regulatory DNA integrates complex signals to control the on/off activities of gene batteries during metazoan development. The often neglected "non-coding" genomic DNA is finally brought to life through the use of illuminating examples that span a broad spectrum of experimental systems. The book should appeal to students and researchers in the areas of development and evolution, as well as to computational biologists who are interested in modeling gene networks."
- M. Levine, UC Berkeley
"Probably the highest praise I can give a book after finishing it is to want to start reading it all over again. This is that sort of book...a great job in synthesizing enormous quantity of information into a digestible perspective on regulatory patterns and their importance for evolution. I learned an incredible amount from the book..."
- D. Erwin, Smithsonian Institute
"Davidson's book is a fascinating exposition of the role regulatory networks play in both development and evolution. He writes with a clarity and insight that propels us into some of the most fascinating issues in contemporary biology. A must-read for all true students of biology."
