Borrowing thy neighbour's genetics: neural induction and a Brachyury mutant in Xenopus.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Aug 1994

Green J B

Abstract excerpt

A recent article by Rao exemplifies a number of new trends in developmental biology, both of technical strategy and approach to the problem of neural induction. Rao introduced into frog embryos a mutant form of a mesodermal gene, Brachyury, and caused ectopic neural differentiation. This essay traces the route from the original Brachyury mutation in mouse to the most likely conclusion of Rao's...
