I am looking for authors who have written about Conrad Waddington's Strategy of the Genes and his view about genotype/phenotype relationships. Can anybody suggest both elementary reviews of his work and also research that has taken this forward?
Dear Professor Hackett,
I am not familiar with this subjects, so bear with me. What I do well is researching (and finding) papers and other technical information on the internet.
Here is what I found, I hope it is of some help.
Regards
Tom

Tom, thanks! that is really good of you to do that. I will have a look at these. Take care, Paul
Dear Paul, glad that you found these references of some value for your researches.
Best regards and Merry Xmas

Dear Paul,
just to mention a few (see below), there is a lot more to this. Hope they are helpful.
Merry Christmas

Excellent Nils, thank you. Would you recommend any of these in particular?
Actually all,
but Debat & David; Willmore et al. and Hall are good reads for the beginning.
