Description
Mesoderm differentiation in zebrafish relies on a complex interaction between transcription factors and signaling pathways. Tbx16 is a t-box transcription factor involved in this interaction. Here, we examine downstream targets of tbx16 in the intermediate mesoderm at the 4/5-somite stage and tail mesoderm at the 21-somite stage by comparing wild-type tissues with tissues from the tbx16 mutant, spadetail (spt).
