POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE REGULATON OF PATTERN FORMATION DURING XENOPUS EMBRYOGENESIS

Dynamic spatiotemporal expression of the nodal gene and its orthologs is involved in the dose-dependent induction and patterning of mesendoderm during early vertebrate embryogenesis. In loss of function studies, a strong knockdown of Xenopus antivin/lefty (Xatv/Xlefty) function was achieved by coinj...
