In the analysis of living systems, many areas of organism behavior have been studied, leading to deep understanding of the biochemistry, genetics, and structural organisation of organisms. Yet, there remain many areas of biological behavior that are not well understood, if at all. A major outstanding problem is the development of the embryo. This website presents details of a scholarly effort of independent researchers to elucidate the physical basis of embryological development and its relationship to the genome.
You may wish to join or lecture in our ongoing online International Embryo Physics Course (which includes plant and unicellular morphogenesis and EvoDevo) held in Second Life® (http://secondlife.com/) at:
