HFSP WORKSHOP IX

REPLICON THEORY AND CELL DIVISION

This book reports a meeting that took place in Strasbourg in connection with the HFSP 10th anniversary European celebration in May/June 1999. It will be useful to specialists in the field, as well as to teachers, scientists and students wishing for an introduction and update to a fascinating aspect of biology.
