Abstract excerpt
The lateral asymmetry of the body axis of mouse embryo is revealed first by the asymmetric expression of genes such as nodal, lefty2 and Pitx2 in the lateral plate mesoderm of the neurulating embryo and subsequently by the looping of the heart tube, the rotation of the body axis and situ solitus of specific visceral organs. Analysis of gene expression in the early gastrula shows that there is a transient...
