Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolution

LaDeana W. Hillier, +174 more
- 09 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus, provides a new perspective on vertebrate genome evolution, while also improving the annotation of mammalian genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Avian hairy Gene Expression Identifies a Molecular Clock Linked to Vertebrate Segmentation and Somitogenesis

TL;DR: The identified and characterized c-hairy1, an avian homolog of the Drosophila segmentation gene, hairy, provides molecular evidence for a developmental clock linked to segmentation and somitogenesis of the paraxial mesoderm and support the possibility that segmentation mechanisms used by invertebrates and vertebrates have been conserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

FGF Signaling Controls Somite Boundary Position and Regulates Segmentation Clock Control of Spatiotemporal Hox Gene Activation

TL;DR: It is reported that FGF8 which is expressed in the posterior PSM, generates a moving wavefront at which level both segment boundary position and axial identity become determined, and it is shown that Hox gene expression is maintained in the appropriately numbered somite rather than at an absolute axial position.
Journal ArticleDOI

The segmentation clock: converting embryonic time into spatial pattern.

TL;DR: The study of somite development provides insights into the spatiotemporal integration of signaling systems in the vertebrate embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Making muscle: skeletal myogenesis in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: This Review provides a comprehensive overview of skeletal myogenesis from the earliest premyogenic progenitor stage to terminally differentiated myofibers, and discusses how this knowledge has been applied to differentiate PSCs into muscle fibers and their progenitors in vitro.
