DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eric Wieschaus\nhosted by Gasper Tkacik\nAbstract: Dur
 ing early development in all animals\, patterns of gene activity establish
  groups of primordial cells that are destined to form different parts of t
 he adult body.   The genes involved in these early developmental steps a
 re largely transcription factors and signaling components that localize to
  the nucleus and control subsequent long term expression of genes characte
 ristic of each cell type.  A remarkable feature of early development\, ho
 wever\, is that these early genes also have immediate effects on cell morp
 hology and behavior.  Transformation of the fertilized egg into functiona
 l organism requires changes in cell shape and cell movement.  Underlying 
 these transformations must be local generation of forces in the embryo\, a
 s well as changes in the viscous and elastic properties of the cells thems
 elves.   How these physical properties in the embryo relate to early pat
 terns of gene activity is a fundamental question in biology and is central
  to our understanding of embryonic development.   Research in this area 
 spans molecular genetics\, computational biology and biophysics. Free shu
