The Snail superfamily of zinc-finger transcription factors is involved in processes that imply
pronounced cell movements, both during embryonic development and in the acquisition of …

In this review, we outline the gene-regulatory interactions driving neural crest development
and compare these to a hypothetical network operating in the embryonic ectoderm of the …

A dialogue between the hippocampus and the neocortex is thought to underlie the
formation, consolidation and retrieval of episodic memories,,,, although the nature of this …

The head is anatomically the most sophisticated part of the body and its evolution was
fundamental to the origin of vertebrates; understanding its development is a formidable …

Achieving a real understanding of animal development obviously requires a comprehensive
rather than partial identification of the genes working in each developmental process …

Ciona is an emerging model system for elucidating gene networks in development.
Comprehensive in situ hybridization assays have identified 76 regulatory genes with …

The existence of homologous genes in diverse species is intriguing. A detailed comparison
of the structure and function of gene families may provide important insights into gene …

Knowledge of the development and evolution of the neural crest sheds light on many of the
