Patterns of Regulation Associated with Developmental Processes

Patterns of Regulation Associated with Developmental Processes 

It seems likely that the pivotal events in the evolution of a differentiated cell reflect changes in gene expression that result from a complex hierarchy of controls. The key to understanding differentiation, therefore, is to identify the regulatory factors responsible for the controls involved in differentiation and to explain how they act. 

We focus on regulatory events that occur in development. First we discuss some of the classical studies of gene expression in the embryogenesis of sea urchins and amphibians and then turn to some of the developmental events in fruit flies, the best characterized developmental system.
