Spatial harmonics and pattern specification in early Drosophila development. Part I. Bifurcation sequences and gene expression.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular probes have now provided an unprecedented wealth of detail revealing the changing spatial patterns of gene products in early Drosophila development. This is examined for dynamic properties which might provide insights into the underlying behaviour of the patterning process. What emerges is that transcripts and protein products of members of the major categories of zygotically active genes involved in...
