Abstract excerpt
In vertebrate embryos, the homeobox gene goosecoid (gsc) is expressed in the gastrula organizer region and in later arising embryonic tissues including the foregut anlage. Ectopic expression and loss-of-function studies have demonstrated that Xenopus gsc elicits a dorsalizing activity that contri...
