    Area of Science:

    • Developmental biology
    • Molecular genetics
    • Systems biology

    Background:

    • Multicellular development relies on intricate genetic programming.
    • A significant portion of genes is dedicated to orchestrating developmental processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a model for genetic control of multicellular development.
    • To explain how gene activity changes during ontogenesis.
    • To provide a framework for understanding pattern formation, morphogenesis, and regeneration.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual modeling of gene regulatory networks.
    • Proposing compartmentalization of genes into activity-based subsets.
    • Describing a mechanism for automatic, sequential subset activation via gene products.
