Explains the role of simple biological model systems in the growth of molecular biology. This book presents the history of molecular biology, tracing the work in bacteriophages in E coli, the role of other prokaryotic systems, the protozoan and algal models, and the move into eukaryotes with the fungal systems - Neurospora, Aspergillus and yeast.
Model systems, model organisms -- Morgan's progeny -- Neurospora -- Aspergillus -- Yeast -- Leaving the fungi -- Escherichia coli -- The T bacteriophages -- Temperate phages and transduction -- DNA -- Prokaryotes take center stage -- Prokaryotes : later contributions -- Cytoplasmic inheritance : the ciliates -- Organelle genetics : yeast and chlamydomonas -- Yeast becomes a supermodel -- The filamentous fungi : eclipse and renewal -- The role of biochemistry -- Genomics -- The age of model organisms.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-322) and indexes.
