Retinoic acid modifies mesodermal patterning in early Xenopus embryos.

abstract：:Transcriptional repressors play a key role in establishing localized patterns of gene expression in the early Drosophila embryo. Several different modes of repression have been implicated in previous studies, including competition and direct interference with the transcription complex. Here, we present evidence for "q...
