An Evolutionary and Molecular Analysis of Bmp2 Expression
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
The coding regions of many metazoan genes are highly similar. For example, homologs to the key developmental factor bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 have been cloned by sequence identity from arthropods, mollusks, cnidarians, and nematodes. Wide conservation of protein sequences suggests that differential gene expression explains many of the vast morphological differences between species. To test the hypothesis...
