... differentiation programs. Here, we show the requirement of the homeobox transcription factor gene TGIF1 for ovarian development in the chicken embryo. TGIF1 is expressed in the two principal ovarian somatic cell populations: the cortex and the pre-granulosa cells of the medulla. TGIF1 expression is associated...

We found that members of the HoxB cluster are expressed in the trunk neural tube of chicken embryo earlier than Hox from the other clusters, with poor antero-posterior axial specificity and with overlapping expression...

The level of NGF mRNA in total embryo increased four-fold until day 8, remained high until day 12, and subsequently decreased. No corresponding peak in NGF mRNA expression was found in heart and brain measured...
