Abstract

The study of development involves many important techniques. Here I am trying to reflect on the strength of genetic analysis and its ability to uncover unexpected relationships and regulatory inputs from seemingly unrelated pathways.

Keywords: Axis formation; DNA damage checkpoint; Drosophila; EGF receptor; Meiosis; Oogenesis.
