Dogfish strikes gastrulation

Posted by Ferdi on 01 Oct 2007 at 16:38 GMT

Insightful report from dogfish which enlighten the difficult question of the evolution of gastrulation pattern among vertebrates. This paper also demonstrates the interest of massive EST sequencing for setting up evo-devo studies on a peculiar model.
