Abstract excerpt
Mesp proteins play crucial roles in the formation of heart, vasculature and somites during vertebrate embryogenesis. We have used phylogenetic and genomic analysis, combined with qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization, to characterize two novel additional mesp genes in zebrafish, mesp-ab and mesp-bb, and describe their expression pattern in wild type and segmentation mutants. Both mesp-ab and mesp-bb are expressed in...
