BIOL2010 COURSEWORK ESSAY 2008
Title: Development
of the left-right axis in vertebrates
First
read the relevant sections of the standard textbooks. I will give you
details of these in the tutorial on essay writing on Wednesday 23rd
January. I will also suggest some review articles that might form a useful
starting point for your essay, advise you on how to use PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi to
search for short, recent review articles in peer reviewed journals and explain
how to cite the references you use. The
essay should be about 1500 words. Illustrations/diagrams are highly
desirable. Essays must be word-processed and printed DOUBLE-SPACED.
Including diagrams, I expect it will be around four to six A4 pages
