Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nuclear receptors are essential players in the development of all metazoans. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans possesses more than 200 putative nuclear receptor genes, several times more than the number known in any other organism. Very few of these transcription factors are conserved with components of the steroid response pathways in vertebrates and arthropods. Ftz-F1, one of the evolutionarily...
