Derived from the acclaimed online “WormAtlas,” C. elegans Atlas is a large-format, full-color atlas of the hermaphroditic form of the model organism C. elegans, known affectionately as “the worm” by workers in the field. Prepared by the editors of the WormAtlas Consortium, David H. Hall and Zeynep F. Altun, this book combines explanatory text with copious, labeled, color illustrations and electron micrographs of the major body systems of C. elegans. Also included are electron microscopy cross sections of the worm. This laboratory reference is essential for the working worm biologist, at the bench and at the microscope, and provides a superb companion to the C. elegans II monograph. It is also a valuable tool for investigators in the fields of developmental biology, neurobiology, reproductive biology, gene expression, and molecular biology. ''C. elegans Atlas and WormAtlas provide an invaluable aid to the study of this important research subject and will make a vital contribution to future progress with this model system.'' --Genetics Research''With this gorgeous volume, the authors and publisher have provided the C. elegans, community with a vital foundation for research into development, physiology, genetics, and behavior. But the book will appeal to a broader audience as well, just as the appeal of an exquisitely illustrated atlas extends well beyond geographers and geologists. I strongly recommend the concealed-wire bound version.'' --The Quarterly Review of Biology ''The book will undoubtedly serve as a standard for graduate students and researchers working with C. elegans, as well as provide occasional use to biology students in general.'' --Choice ''With this gorgeous volume, the authors and publisher have provided the C. elegans, community with a vital foundation for research into development, physiology, genetics, and behavior.
