The application of paired‐end next generation sequencing approaches has made it possible
to systematically characterize rearrangements of the cancer genome to base‐pair level. …

Ureteric contractions propel foetal urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. Here, we show
that mouse ureteric smooth muscle cell (SMC) precursors express the transcription factor …

TSHZ3, which encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor, was recently positioned as a hub
gene in a module of the genes with the highest expression in the developing human neocortex…

The forkhead domain containing transcription factor BF-1 has been shown to play a major
role in the correct development of the cerebral hemispheres in the mouse. BF-1 orthologs …

Determining the phylogenetic position of enigmatic phyla such as Chaetognatha is a
longstanding challenge for biologists. Chaetognaths (or arrow worms) are small, bilaterally …

Drosophila, Lumbricus, Homo) or clades (composite databases: Deuterostomes, Lophotrochozoans,
Ecdysozoans) showed conservation of a large set of genes within bilaterians (Table …

Background The chætognaths (arrow worms) have puzzled zoologists for years because of
their astonishing morphological and developmental characteristics. Despite their …

The physiological activities of organs are underpinned by an interplay between the distinct
cell types they contain. However, little is known about the genetic control of patterned cell …

Members of the Tshz gene family encode putative zinc fingers transcription factors that are
broadly expressed during mouse embryogenesis. Tshz1 is detected from E9.5 in the somites, …

Dac is a novel nuclear factor in mouse and humans that shares homology with Drosophila
dachshund (dac). Alignment with available sequences defines a conserved box of 117 amino …
