The shared patterns of gene expression in the limbs and phallus are generated in part by a common set of noncoding DNA, also called «elements» or «enhancers,» which act to control gene expression in both of these structures, argues a study published October 1 in Developmental Cell.
In addition to identifying several characterized developmental genes, the approach revealed previously unsuspected genetic subdivisions of the thorax, which may control the disposition of pattern elements.
Decades of work in developmental biology have provided a start: Biologists have used mutant frogs, flies, mice, chicks, and fish to identify some of the main genes that control a developing cell's decision to become a bone cell or a muscle cell.
For more than a decade, the husband - and - wife team has been investigating how a large protein complex called SAGA, which helps control gene activity in organisms from yeast to humans, influences developmental processes.
Either way, previous studies have shown that proteins made from Jumonji genes work to control many other genes that orchestrate developmental processes — and that environmental stress, such as from heat, can change the way these genes turn on and off.
Docodontans show a positional shift of thoracolumbar ribs, a developmental variation that is controlled by Hox9 and Myf5 genes in extant mammals.
That pathway involves sonic hedgehog, a versatile developmental gene that controls limb growth and patterning.
While my husband was on call, and even when he wasn't, I buried myself in transcription factors that control developmental genes.

Christopher Hammell Post-transcriptional gene regulation; control of animal developmental timing; RNA biology
Many HARs are located near genes that control fundamental developmental processes, 9 so their altered regulatory function could have profound effects on human biology.
The activated AHR / NuRD complex altered the expression of differentiation - specific genes that control the first two developmental decisions without affecting the pluripotency program.
May 07, 2015 Genetic changes to basic developmental processes evolve more frequently than thought Newly evolved genes can rapidly assume control over fundamental functions during early embryonic development, report scientists from the University of Chicago.
