Gene networks in development
Abstract:
A model is presented for the formation of temporal and spatial patterns of cell types during the development of organisms. It is demonstrated that very simple random networks of interactions among genes that affect expression may lead to the autonomous development of patterns of cell types. It is required that the networks contain active feedback loops and that there is limited communication among cells. The only elements of the model, gene interactions, are specified by the DNA nucleotide sequences of the genes. Therefore, the model readily explains how the control of development is specified by the organism's DNA. In the context of this model, the formation of positional information and its interpretation becomes a single process.

Combinatorial Gene Control
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
