Key Points

To understand how selector genes control the spatial pattern of body segment development in Drosophila.
Conducted extensive genetic analysis of selector genes in Drosophila
Examined the organization of genes in the Antennapedia complex (ANT-C) and bithorax complex (BX-C)
Analyzed the role of ANT-C in anterior segment differentiation and BX-C in posterior differentiation.
Demonstrated the ANT-C genes control the differentiation of anterior body segments
Showed the BX-C genes are essential for the differentiation of posterior body segments
Identified the clustering of these genes as a key factor in segment diversity.
