An SP1-like transcription factor Spr2 acts downstream of Fgf signaling to mediate mesoderm induction

Zhao, Jue, Cao, Ying, Zhao, Chengtian, Postlethwait, John, Meng, Anming

Fgf signaling, mediated in part by the transcription factor Brachyury/Xbra/Ntl, plays important roles in mesoderm formation during the early development of vertebrate embryos. We have identified a...

A Medaka Gene Map: The Trace of Ancestral Vertebrate Proto-Chromosomes Revealed by Comparative Gene Mapping

Naruse, Kiyoshi, Tanaka, Minoru, Mita, Kazuei, Shima, Akihiro, Postlethwait, John, Mitani, Hiroshi

The mapping of Hox clusters and many duplicated genes in zebrafish indicated an extra whole-genome duplication in ray-fined fish. However, to reconstruct the preduplication chromosomes...

Gene duplication, gene loss and evolution of expression domains in the vertebrate nuclear receptor NR5A (Ftz-F1) family

Kuo, Ming-Wei, Postlethwait, John, Lee, Wen-Chih, Lou, Show-Wan, Chan, Woon-Khiong, Chung, Bon-chu

Fushi tarazu factor 1 (Ftz-F1, NR5A) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily and regulates genes that are involved in sterol and steroid metabolism in...

Sex-specific recombination rates in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Singer, Amy, Perlman, Hodel, Yan, YiLin, Walker, Charlene, Corley-Smith, Graham, Brandhorst, Bruce, ...

In many organisms, the rate of genetic recombination is not uniform along the length of chromosomes or between sexes. To compare the relative recombination rates during meiosis in male and female...

Measures of synteny conservation between species pairs.

Housworth, Elizabeth Ann, Postlethwait, John

Measures of conserved synteny are important for estimating the relative rates of chromosomal evolution in various lineages. We present a natural way to view the synteny conservation between two...
