An otx/nodal regulatory signature for posterior neural development in ascidians. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 In chordates, neural induction is the first step of a complex developmental process through which ectodermal cells acquire a neural identity. In ascidians, FGF-mediated neural induction occurs at the 32-cell stage in two blastomere pairs, precursors ...
