Abstract excerpt
Mouse genetic studies have defined a set of signaling molecules and transcription factors that are necessary to induce the forebrain. Here we describe an ENU-induced mouse mutation, nearly headless (nehe), that was identified based on the specific absence of most of the forebrain at midgestation. Positional cloning and genetic analysis show that, unlike other mouse mutants that disrupt specification of the...
