A logical analysis of the Drosophila gap-gene system.

Abstract excerpt

This manuscript focuses on the formal analysis of the gap-gene network involved in Drosophila segmentation. The gap genes are expressed in defined domains along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo, as a response to asymmetric maternal information in the oocyte. Though many of the individual interactions among maternal and gap genes are reasonably well understood, we still lack a thorough understanding of...
