title: Network news: functional modules revealed during early embryogenesis in C. elegans.
abstract: The functional module is fast becoming the operational unit of the postgenomics era. A new report in Nature by Gunsalus and colleagues describes, using a multiply supported network, functional modules within early C. elegans embryos and identifies several new components of known molecular machines (Gunsalus et al., 2005).
