Abstract
The pair-rule genes of Drosophila play a fundamental role in the generation of periodicity in the early embryo. We have analysed the transcript distributions of runt, hairy, even-skipped and fushi tarazu in single and double mutant ernbryos. The results indicate a complex set of interactions between the genes during the blastoderm stage of embryogenesis.Keywords
