Developmental Biology
Genes That Shape Embryonic Development
Description
Genes help guide embryonic development, the process that turns a single-celled embryo into a multicellular organism. Developmental biology asks how information in DNA directs this change. Developmental geneticists study how specific genes control embryonic processes and help build a complete organism.

Transcript
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 ...
