An Introduction to Developmental Genetics

English

概述

Development is the complex process through which a single-celled embryo transforms into a multicellular organism. Developmental processes are guided by information encoded in an organism’s DNA, and geneticists are trying to understand how this information leads to a fully formed organism.

This video reviews seminal research in the field of developmental biology, including the identification of specific genes that control various embryonic processes. An introduction to the major questions asked by developmental geneticists, and the prominent methods used to answer them, is also provided. Finally, several applications of these prominent methods are discussed, in order to show specific experiments currently being performed in this field.

Procedure

The development of every organism is guided by the genetic information encoded in its DNA. By studying how genes control developmental processes, such as cell migration and differentiation, scientists in the field of developmental genetics are trying to better understand how the complex structures of multicellular organisms are formed. This video will present some of the major discoveries in this field, a number of fundamental questions asked by developmental geneticists, major tools that scientists use to answer…
