Hierarchical Gene Cluster Regulation Across Vertebrate Skins: Developmental Control of Keratin Gene Expression
2026-07-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Developmental competence allows tissues to respond to inductive cues before committing to specialized forms, but how this potential is encoded at clustered gene-family loci is poorly understood. We use vertebrate skin to address this problem. Epidermis responds to regional dermal signals before committing to feather, scale, or differentiated programs, and α-keratin loci provide a stringent genomi...
