Differential regulation of gene expression in time and space controls cell fate, differentiation and development. The Drosophila embryo constitutes a particularly well characterized system in terms of both the cis-regulatory sequences driving gene expression and the trans-acting factors involved in controlling transcription. This knowledge can be exploited to study mechanisms for regulating transcription that are used in vivo, with important implications for both normal development and disease. Our work concerns the role of chromatin regulators in epigenetic inheritance, and the function of chromatin regulators and other proteins as transcriptional co-regulators.
