geneticdevelopmental
Geneticdevelopmental is an interdisciplinary field focused on how genetic information guides the growth, patterning, and differentiation of organisms during development. It emphasizes the interactions between gene expression programs and developmental contexts such as tissue morphogenesis, cell signaling, and epigenetic regulation. The term can be used to describe research that bridges classical genetics and developmental biology, including the study of how mutations, regulatory elements, and gene networks alter developmental trajectories.
Key concepts include gene regulatory networks that coordinate spatial and temporal gene expression, signal transduction pathways
Research relies on model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, Mus musculus, Danio rerio, and Caenorhabditis elegans,
Applications span understanding congenital disorders, developmental defects, and tissue regeneration. Insights from geneticdevelopmental studies contribute to
