How Do Genetic Interactions Influence Tissue Development?
During embryogenesis, a precise sequence of genetic interactions is required for the proper formation of tissues and organs. Genes regulate the expression of other genes through various mechanisms, such as transcription factors, signaling pathways, and epigenetic modifications. For instance, the Notch signaling pathway is crucial for cell differentiation and tissue patterning. Disruptions in these interactions can lead to developmental abnormalities and congenital disorders.
