Does anyone know about any recent review papers, books,
conferences, etc. on symmetry in biological systems? Specifically, I
am interested in the developmental issues regarding generating
assymetrical forms, why our hearts are on one side of the body, how
come some people's hearts are on the other side, what the evolutionary
ramifications of various symmetries might be, etc. Also, I just read
that the chemicals acetazolamide and dichlorophenamide induce specific
abnormalities in the right forelimbs of rats. I find this hard to
believe. Is this true? Anyone have a reference? Please send all ideas
to mlevin@husc8.harvard.edu.

Specifically, I Look into one of the last number of Nature .... there is something about the positioning of the organs in mices that I recall Franco

Sorry I don't have the reference, but very recently there was either a Science or Nature article on an amazing genetic mutation in mice that reversed the positions of major organs. Perhaps someone else can get the ref. Tom Schneider National Cancer Institute Laboratory of Mathematical Biology Frederick, Maryland 21702-1201 toms@ncifcrf.gov
