Quantitative analysis of binding motifs mediating diverse spatial readouts of the Dorsal gradient in the Drosophila embryo

I will touch on the results/discussion portion of this paper in which the "grammar" for DV patterning in Drosophila was determined. I will not delve into the computational analysis/methods that were used in this work, so don't feel you need to read that portion.
