Abstract excerpt
In recent years, molecular analysis has led to the identification of some of the key genes that control the morphogenesis of the developing embryo. Detailed functional analysis of these genes is rapidly leading to a new level of understanding of how embryonic form is regulated. Understanding the roles that these genes play in development can additionally provide insights into the evolution of morphology. The 5'...
