A network model of development governing the whole temporal and spatial hierarchy of early embryogenesis and pattern formation in Drosophila is introduced. The network is related to a neural network model, with its units being developmental genes mostly connected by the genes' DNA-binding products.
## Abstract Coβoption of the eye developmental gene regulatory network may have led to the appearance of novel functional traits on the wings of flies and butterflies. The first trait is a recently described wing organ in a species of extinct midge resembling the outer layers of the midge's own com
