An overview of developmental genetics in mammals.

Abstract excerpt

Publications in mammalian developmental genetics during the past year reflect a shift of emphasis from the phenotypic level to the primary level of gene expression and the nature of the gene product. A result of this, the developmental role of a considerable number of regulatory genes and specific gene sequences have been identified. The cell type-specific effects of several mutations analyzed in the past have...
