  1. Chapter 2. Differential gene expression in Development Based on the basic assumtion, “Genomic equivalence”, scientist have asked “ how nuclear genes can direct development when these genes are exactly the same in every cell type?” • The answers are • Differentail gene expression • Selective nuclear RNA processing • Selective messenger RNA translation • Differential protein modification
