Nevertheless, this type of cell has a very short lifespan, limited to the first
days of embryonic development, and they do not exist in any part of an adult organism.

Because the RNAi wasn't used to dampen FOXP2 activity until 23
days after the birds hatched, the new study shows that the gene has a role beyond
embryonic development, says neurogeneticist Simon Fisher
of the University
of Oxford in the U.K. «The gene, at least in songbirds, may have important active functions in [neural] circuits,» he says.

In a similar manner, the induction
of hematopoietic (cluster 20,
day 3.5 +4 = E7.5) and cardiovascular - specific (cluster 12, 3.5 +5 = E8.5) genes follows the chronological order
of the appearance
of blood islands and the formation
of the heart tube during
embryonic development [50], [51].
Taking into account that ES cells are isolated at
embryonic day 3.5 post fertilization, the sequential appearance
of genes specific for gastrulation, mesoderm formation, hemopoiesis, cardiopoiesis and neurogenesis during ES cell differentiation follows the timing
of comparable developmental stages in
embryonic development.
