Organization of the pronephric kidney revealed by large-scale gene expression mapping

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The pronephros, the simplest form of a vertebrate excretory organ, has recently become an important model of vertebrate kidney organogenesis. Here, we elucidated the nephron organization of the Xenopus pronephros and determined the similarities in segmentation with the metanephros, the adult kidney of mammals. RESULTS: We performed large-scale gene expression mapping of terminal differentiation...
