Asymmetric expression of antivin/lefty1 in the early chick embryo
Mammalian lefty and zebrafish antivin, highly related to lefty, are shown to be expressed asymmetrically and involved in the specification of the left body side of early embryos. We isolated a chick homologue of the antivin/lefty1 cDNA and studied its expression pattern during early chick development. We found that antivin/lefty1 is expressed asymmetrically on the left side of the prospective f...
متن کاملSomatic Mutations in Protein Domains Protein Domain Hotspots Reveal Functional Mutations across Genes in Can- cer
In cancer genomics, frequent recurrence of mutations in independent tumor samples is a strong indication of functional impact. However, rare functional mutations can escape detection by recurrence analysis for lack of statistical power. We address this problem by extending the notion of recurrence of mutations from single genes to gene families that share homologous protein domains. In addition...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Morphogenesis in the Early Mouse Embryo.
SUMMARYOver the past two decades, our understanding of mouse development from implantation to gastrulation has grown exponentially with an upsurge of genetic, molecular, cellular, and morphogenetic information. New discoveries have exalted the role of extraembryonic tissues in orchestrating embryonic patterning and axial specification. At the same time, the identification of unexpected morphoge...
متن کاملMutations in a β-tubulin disrupt spindle orientation and microtubule dynamics in the early C. elegans embryo
The early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo contains abundant transcripts for two α-and two β-tubulins raising the question of whether each isoform performs specialized functions or simply contributes to total tubulin levels. Our identification of two recessive, complementing alleles of a β-tubulin that disrupt nuclear-centrosome centration and rotation in the early embryo originally suggested that...
