Overview
An overview of the fundamental mechanisms of multicellular development, focusing on unifying themes in the study of developmental biology. Topics discussed include the role of highly conserved transcription factors in embryonic patterning, generation of distinct germline and soma, transmission and interpretation of information between cells, and evolutionary patterns of sex determination.Editorials

Focuses on the unifying elements of developmental biology, such as the basic mechanisms of cell physiology and the genes that underlie them, which have changed little as organisms evolved; and the mechanisms driving the evolution of multicellular eukaryotes, many of which now seem to have been common, despite their diverse results. Among the 13 papers are discussions of the expression and developmental regulation of the Maize Spm transposable element, the specification of reproductive cells in Volvox, and the evolution of insect pattern formation.
