Transposable elements in the mammalian embryo: pioneers surviving through stealth and service.

abstract：BACKGROUND:While the song of all songbirds is controlled by the same neural circuit, the hormone dependence of singing behavior varies greatly between species. For this reason, songbirds are ideal organisms to study ultimate and proximate mechanisms of hormone-dependent behavior and neuronal plasticity. RESULTS:We pre...
