Abstract excerpt
The processes that specify early regional identity in dorsal and lateral regions of the mammalian neural tube are not well understood. The mouse open brain (opb) gene plays an essential role in dorsal neural patterning: in the caudal spinal cord of opb mutants, dorsal cell types are absent and markers of ventral fates, including Shh, expand into dorsal regions. Analysis of the opb mutant phenotype and of opb/opb...
