Atlas of Drosophila Morphology. Wild-type and Classical Mutants
Sylwester Chyb and Nicolas Gompel (Auth.)''The Atlas of Drosophila Morphology provides a valuable, as well as beautiful, reference source for all those who need to recognize fly mutant phenotypes or who need to decipher the impenetrable jargon of fly anatomical names. A much needed update to the classic works of Demerec and Lindsley & Grell A must for any fly lab.'' - Ralph J. Greenspan, Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, UCSD''Chyb and Gompel have produced a must-have book for every Drosophilist. The Atlas of Drosophila Morphology presents crisp, high-definition color images of all the classic morphological mutants a fly pusher needs to recognize, displayed side-by-side with a wild type fly.'' - Leslie B. Vosshall, HHMI-The Rockefeller University''Drosophila is an exceptionally favorable model to investigate a plethora of biological problems. This book appears remarkably valuable not only for professional drosophilists but is particularly well suited for biologists with a modest background in fly genetics, who wish to use Drosophila as a model organism for their specific interests. The beautiful pictures featured in this book, often showing side-by-side mutant flies and wild-type counterparts, will enable easy identifications of the genetic phenotype, and add to the value of this volume.'' - Professor Jules Hoffmann, University of Strasbourg, France
