Abstract


The Developmental Biology and Genetics Laboratory (DBG) was formally established in 1990. Its research interests fall into four broad areas: cryptic genes, transcription termination in eukaryotes, chromosomal behaviour and sex determination, and pattern formation. Even though these appear to be disparate, all of them involve the study of a common theme, namely, the facultative, heritable and reversible inactivation of a genetic unit. Here we sketch the background to the setting up of DBG and the scientific problems presently being addressed. At the end we conslder possible activities for the future.

Keywords


Cryptic genes; transcription termmation in eukaryotes; chromosomal behaviour; sex determination; pattern formation.
