Modeling and experiment in developmental biology.
Models in developmental biology continue to yield valuable insights, yet do not play a strong role as guides to experiment. This may be because of the largely unexplored complexity of most developing organisms, and the fact that the most powerful models work at a very abstract level. In Dictyostelium discoideum, however, a fully formed model incorporating detailed experimental results is now available.
