Developmental mechanisms and cis-regulatory codes

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development
Amanda Ochoa-Espinosa, Stephen Small

Abstract

Complex networks of transcriptional interactions control the processes of animal development. These networks begin with broad positional information that patterns the cells of the early embryo, and end with precise expression profiles that provide the functions of fully differentiated cells. At the heart of these networks are cis-regulatory modules (CRMs), which contain binding sites for regulatory proteins and control the spatial and temporal expression of genes within the network. Recent studies in several model systems have begun to decipher the 'cis-regulatory codes' of CRMs involved in various developmental processes. These studies suggest that CRMs involved in regulating co-expressed genes share sequence characteristics that can be identified by in silico approaches. They also suggest that CRMs involved in specific types of developmental events have common binding site architectures, which can be linked to their specific functions.

Anthelmintics (ASM)

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
