Abstract excerpt
Understanding the robustness of developmental systems requires insights into the sensitivity of underlying molecular and cellular parameters to perturbations, and how such sensitivity evolves. We address these issues using vulval cell fate determination--a reproducible and robust patterning process regulated by a cross-talk of EGF-Ras-MAPK and Delta-Notch pathways. Although the final vulval cell fate pattern is...
