Morphogens, Compartments, and Pattern: Lessons from Drosophila?

Open access
Lawrence, Peter A, Struhl, Gary·1996·Cell

Abstract

Over the last 20 years, the essential mechanisms of development have become clearer, mainly because modern molecular genetics has transformed traditional embryology. The longest dispute in embryology has been resolved: we now know that the adult is not preformed in the fertilized egg and that animals arise by step-by-step elaboration from simple beginnings, that is, by epigenesis. Much of this knowledge has come from ingenious experiments on invertebrates such as Drosophila and the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. Nevertheless, because so much of the genetic machinery is shared, many of the principles uncovered may apply, with variations, to all multicellular animals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
