Neofunctionalization in vertebrates: the example of retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]
Understanding the role of gene duplications in establishing vertebrate innovations is one of the main challenges of Evo-Devo (evolution of development) studies.

Retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors: interactions with endogenous retinoic acids. [PDF]
The binding of endogenous retinoids and stereoisomers of retinoic acid (RA) to the retinoid nuclear receptors, RA receptor (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs), was characterized using nucleosol preparations from transiently transfected COS-1 cells ...

Developmental expression of retinoic acid receptors (RARs) [PDF]
Here, I review the developmental expression features of genes encoding the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and the ‘retinoid X’ or rexinoid receptors (RXRs). The first detailed expression studies were performed in the mouse over two decades ago, following

The roles of retinoic acid and retinoic acid receptors in inducing epigenetic changes. [PDF]
Epigenetics is "the branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes and their products which bring the phenotype into being" as defined by Conrad Waddington in 1942 in a discussion of the mechanisms of cell differentiation.

Function annotation of hepatic retinoid x receptor α based on genome-wide DNA binding and transcriptome profiling. [PDF]
BackgroundRetinoid x receptor α (RXRα) is abundantly expressed in the liver and is essential for the function of other nuclear receptors. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and mRNA profiling data generated from wild type and RXRα-null mouse ...

The negative side of retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]
This is a review of research that supports a hypothesis regarding early restriction of gene expression in the vertebrate embryo. We hypothesize that vertebrate retinoic acid receptors (RARs for several vertebrates but rars for zebrafish) are part of an embryonic, epigenetic switch whose default position, at the time of fertilization is "OFF".
