With the advent of gene-expression profiling, a large number of genes can now be investigated simultaneously during critical stages of development. This approach will be particularly informative in studies of ascidians, basal chordates whose genomes and embryology are uniquely suited for mapping developmental gene networks.
随着基因表达谱分析技术的出现,现在可以在发育的关键阶段同时研究大量基因。这种方法在海鞘(一种基础脊索动物)的研究中尤其具有指导意义,海鞘的基因组和胚胎学特别适合绘制发育基因网络。
