The development of an embryo is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Early in this process, it is determined which cells will give rise to which tissues—controlled by epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation. Researchers at LMU have now shown that, rather surprisingly, this highly complex process is governed by physical laws.
