Book Description
In this publication, the culmination of a two-day symposium held in Miami from March 24 to 35, 1972, on Molecular Genetic Mechanisms n Development and Aging, we have been able to being together a group of experts concerned with interpreting and explaining the mechanism of aging at the level of the genome. While much of our fundamental knowledge concerning the expression and regulation of genes is derived from studies on microbial organism the field of genetics, per e, has come full circle in the employment of insects as an organism of choice in the search for the molecular genetic basis for the processes of aging. Indeed the highly complex multicellular members of the class Insecta provide the investigator with many unique and distinct advantages for aging studies.
