Abstract
Analysis of the genetic mechanisms of control of development is connected with the problem of regulation of gene activity. Naturally, cell specialization is due to an organized sequence of function of various genetic systems. A knowledge of the "anatomy" and functional organization of the genome is required for an explanation of the regulation of genome action. Moreover, systems must be present in higher organisms which control the mosaicism produced by differential gene expression in cells and tissues that develop in different directions. Such a system should include gene interactions which affect differential transcription, and gene complexes which can potentially control certain superstructures at the post-trans- lational level.
