Transcription factors and the control of Drosophila development

M D Biggin et al. Trends Genet. 1989 Nov.

Abstract

Drosophila is a uniquely advantageous system for carrying out both biochemical and genetic analyses of proteins that regulate spatial and temporal patterns of transcription. Here we discuss what is known about the mechanisms of action and biological functions of transcription factors that act on genes controlling Drosophila embryogenesis.
