Abstract excerpt
The question of phenotypic convergence across a signalling pathway has important implications for both developmental and evolutionary biology. The ERK-MAPK cascade is known to play a central role in dental development, but the relative roles of its components remain unknown. Here we investigate the diversity of dental phenotypes in Spry2(-/-), Spry4(-/-), and Rsk2(-/Y) mice, including the incidence of extra...
