Abstract excerpt
The mouse homeobox gene Noto represents the homologue of zebrafish floating head (flh) and is expressed in the organizer node and in the nascent notochord. Previous analyses suggested that Noto is required exclusively for the formation of the caudal part of the notochord. Here, we show that Noto is also essential for node morphogenesis, controlling ciliogenesis in the posterior notochord, and the establishment of...
