Abstract

Genes in early fly development are expressed with astonishing precision, despite the molecular noise intrinsic to all biochemical reactions. In an attempt to understand the regulatory mechanisms in this system, I will discuss the nature of hunchback mRNA expression based on analysis of live imaging experiments. Inspired by fly development, I will then discuss trade-offs that gene regulatory circuits have to face in order to precisely respond to signals in the presence of molecular noise.
