This course will cover the early events in vertebrate embryonic development and in doing so will touch on key concepts and processes in developmental biology such as inductive interactions, morphogen gradients, cell fate specification, and morphogenetic cell movements. The course combines faculty lectures and student-run reviews of primary literature. CONJ542 is organized as a sister course with UCONJ 534, Vertebrate Neural Development, which will not be offered in 2010. Students are encouraged, although not required to take both courses.
