In-Depth Information
New technology allows new approaches to understanding development,
and the development of vast amounts of DNA sequence information allows
researchers to determine which genes are functioning from a global perspective
(
Janies and DeSalle 1999, White et al. 1999
). For example, it is possible, using
microarray analysis (described in Chapter 6), to evaluate the role of hundreds of
genes involved in the process of metamorphosis of
Drosophila
.
