Abstract excerpt
myc genes are thought to function in the processes of cellular proliferation and differentiation. To gain insight into the role of the N-myc gene during embryogenesis, we examined its expression in embryos during postimplantation development using RNA in situ hybridization. Tissue- and cell-specific patterns of expression unique to N-myc as compared with the related c-myc gene were observed. N-myc transcripts...
