The role of regulated mRNA stability in establishing bicoid morphogen gradient in Drosophila embryonic development.

The Bicoid morphogen is amongst the earliest triggers of differential spatial pattern of gene expression and subsequent cell fate determination in the embryonic development of Drosophila. This maternally deposited morphogen is thought to diffuse in the embryo, establishing a concentration gradient w...
