| Abstract | Developmental processes are hardwired in the genomic DNA of each animal species. The DNA sequences that specify the architecture of developmental control networks are the cis-regulatory elements that individually determine the state of activity of each of the many genes required to generate a developmental event. These elements each mediate many interactions with transcription factors, which are selected with high specificity according to the target binding sites in each cis-regulatory element. Cis-regulatory elements can be thought of as analog information processing devices. This concept is illustrated by an experimental and computational analysis of a cis-regulatory system from the developmentally regulated Endo 16 gene of the sea urchin embryo. Large-scale developmental events require mobilization of batteries of downstream genes, and are instituted by signal inputs to regulatory genes encoding transcription factors. Functional linkages between genes determine which signals affect which regulatory genes, in space and time, and which gene batteries will be involved. Thus both inter cis-regulatory networks and intra cis-regulatory systems are specified by arrays of genomic target site sequences. A model of an intergenic network of this kind that controls endomesoderm specification in sea urchin embryos has been constructed on the basis of experimental information. This model consists of a set of predicted inputs and outputs to a minimal group of regulatory genes encoding endodermal and mesodermal transcription factors, and components of signaling systems. The predictions of the model are experimentally testable, and indeed some such model is a clear necessity for productive experimental analysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
