Abstract excerpt
The regions of expression of Ripply1 and Ripply2, presumptive transcriptional corepressors, overlap at the presomitic mesoderm during somitogenesis in mouse and zebrafish. Ripply1 is required for somite segmentation in zebrafish, but the developmental role of Ripply2 remains unclear in both species. Here, we generated Ripply2 knock-out mice to investigate the role of Ripply2. Defects in segmentation of the axial...
