title: Rounding up natural gene expression variation during development.
abstract: Molecular insights into the genetic control of development have been mainly derived from single gene mutant studies. Francesconi and Lehner (2013) report now in Nature a genome-wide map of natural sequence variants that affect the temporal expression dynamics of thousands of genes during development of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans.
