Abstract excerpt
Many genes intervening in development, morphogenesis and craniofacial growth have been identified, primarily by the use of mice mutants. We can distinguish two families: the signalling factors and the transcription factors. The latter interact with DNA to activate or to inhibit the expression of other genes. Some of the transcription factors are called homeogenes because they interact with DNA by a sequence of...
