Rearrangement of chicken immunoglobulin genes is not an ongoing process in the embryonic bursa of Fabricius.

abstract：:Few mechanisms are known that explain how transcription factors can adjust phenotypic outputs to accommodate differing environments. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the decision to mate or invade relies on environmental cues that converge on a shared transcription factor, Ste12. Specificity toward invasion occurs via Ste...
