Morphogen gradients: limits to signaling or limits to measurement? Author Jacques Bothma, Michael Levine, Alistair Boettiger Publication Year 2010 Type Journal Article Abstract In Drosophila embryos, a concentration gradient of nuclear Dorsal protein controls pattern formation along the dorsal-ventral axis. Recent quantitative studies agree on the temporal dynamics of the gradient, but disagree on its spatial limits.
