The murine developmental mutation T identifies an essential gene in mesoderm formation.
Embryos lacking normal gene activity fail to form the notochord, the entire posterior region
and the allan-tois, and die at about 10 days of gestation. We have isolated the T gene using
a combination of molecular and genetic techniques, thus making molecular tools available
to study processes underlying mesoderm formation in the mouse.
Abstract
The murine developmental mutation T identifies an essential gene in mesoderm formation. Embryos lacking normal gene activity fail to form the notochord, the entire posterior region and the allan-tois, and die at about 10 days of gestation. We have isolated the T gene using a combination of molecular and genetic techniques, thus making molecular tools available to study processes underlying mesoderm formation in the mouse.
