Elizabeth Robertson's used this approach to test the role of specific growth factors in embryonic development, and to screen for previously unknown genes that prevent normal development.

Elizabeth Robertson's work was among the first to show that the disruption of many genes has surprisingly little effect on development and organismal phenotype, contributing to a long-running challenge in the understanding of the robustness of biological systems.

Elizabeth Robertson's has made significant contributions to the question of how the early embryo determines the anterior-posterior polarity that patterns the embryo from head to tail and the mechanisms that pattern the embryo from left to right.
