Of Fish, Fly, Worm, and Man Lessons from Developmental Biology for Human Gene Function and Disease

The first complete genome sequence of a multicellular organism, Caenorhabditis elegans, has been determined recently. Several more will follow soon, among them the genome sequences of Drosophila melanogaster and the human. With these achievements, the stage is set for the next phase of "large-s...
