Transcriptional cascades in Drosophila.
Genetics and molecular analyses have combined to yield insights into a functional cascade of transcription factors necessary to establish the molecular blueprint of the Drosophila body pattern in response to positional information in the egg. Recent progress in this field raises exciting questions regarding the molecular mechanisms involved, and their conservation in biological pattern-forming processes.
