Abstract excerpt
The patterning of the mesoderm of the sea urchin embryo is a classical paradigm of epithelial mesenchymal interactions in organogenesis, yet little is known of its molecular basis. Here we address the role of the homeobox gene, SpMsx, a member of the highly conserved Msx gene family, in this process. Msx genes have been shown to function in the dorsoventral patterning of the central nervous system in Drosophila...
