Abstract: The complex interplay of a myriad of protein factors in embryonic development
encapsulates the importance of accuracy in the control of gene expression,
regulation and physical factors including cell-environment contact. C. elegans has
an extremely similar gene interplay and hence its study has paved way a greater
understanding. This review will explore cell lineage specification, mutual regulation,
the consequences of mutations, and how gene regulatory networks utilise spatiotemporal triggers.
