摘要
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Skopelitis et al. (2017) demonstrate that sharp boundaries of gene expression can be created by threshold-based readout of mobile small RNA gradients. Support for this hypothesis comes from manipulation of small RNAs involved in top-bottom leaf patterning and from a novel synthetic biology approach.
