On the dynamic nature of positional information

J Jaeger, J Reinitz - BioEssays, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Morphogenetic fields are among the most fundamental concepts of embryology. However,
they are also among the most ill‐defined, since they consist of dynamic regulatory processes …

[HTML][HTML] Challenges for modeling global gene regulatory networks during development: insights from Drosophila

B Wilczynski, EEM Furlong - Developmental biology, 2010 - Elsevier
