Provides information for researchers working with Caenorhabditis elegans, giving basic background on the organism's natural history, anatomy, life cycle, and evolution, and then detailing methods for using C. elegans in research. Tells how to obtain and grow C. elegans, and discusses the C. elegans genome project, transformation of C. elegans, reverse genetic techniques, analysis of phenotypes by various methods, and approaches for studying gene expression. Describes procedures for producing biochemically useful preparations, and details conventional genetics procedures for selfing and crossing, mutagenesis and mutant screening, gene mapping, and mosaic analysis. Hope teaches biology at the University of Leeds. --SciTech Book News<br>
