Oocytes from various species (including clam, starfish, xenopus and mouse) are excellent model systems to study the biochemistry of cell division with important implications for basic and clinical research.   \u003cp\u003eThis book describes the entire process of oogenesis in chronological order with contributions from leading international researchers and chapters covering medical and ethical considerations in oogenic biology. Topics include sex determination and gonadal development, control of meiotic chromosome pairing and homologous recombination, control of meiotic divisions and the remodelling of the oocyte into a totipotent zygote as well as medically-assisted reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is an essential resource for all students, researchers and clinicians in developmental and reproductive biology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eReaches beyond the study of simply meiosis to cover all aspects of oogenesis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSynthesizes recent advances in the field, drawing on studies from different model species\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter sequence designed to follow the time line \u003ci\u003ein vivo\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by an international panel of expert researchers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMARIE-HÉLÈNE VERLHAC\u003c\/strong\u003e, CNRS\/Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANNE VILLENEUVE\u003c\/strong\u003e, School of Medicine, Stanford University, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 May 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470696828\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e516\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380469198988,"sku":"9780470696828","price":154.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470696828_b2d40498-abef-4481-9195-4c2e039a9f52.jpg?v=1780236820","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470696828","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
