DESCRIPTION:Extracellular signals pattern tissues by instructing cells to 
 acquire specific fates during embryogenesis. The spatial range of signals 
 must adjust to the size of the embryo\, because small and large embryos gi
 ve rise to proportionately patterned adults\, but it has remained unclear 
 how this is achieved during early vertebrate development. I will present o
 ur recent quantitative experiments and mathematical modeling of scale-inva
 riant patterning\, revealing a novel mechanism that controls the spatial r
 ange of patterning signals in differently sized vertebrate embryos.\n
