Stable, precise, and reproducible patterning of bicoid and hunchback molecules in the early Drosophila embryo.

Precise patterning of morphogen molecules and their accurate reading out are of key importance in embryonic development. Recent experiments have visualized distributions of proteins in developing embryos and shown that the gradient of concentration of Bicoid morphogen in Drosophila embryos is establ...
