Abstract excerpt

The homeobox-containing gene tinman (msh-2, Bodmer et al., 1990 Development 110, 661-669) is expressed in the mesoderm primordium, and this expression requires the function of the mesoderm determinant twist. Later in development, as the first mesodermal subdivisions are occurring, expression beco...
