title: Genetic control of gastrulation in the mouse.
abstract: In the past, understanding of the process of gastrulation in the mouse has primarily been based on morphological analyses. Recently, a number of molecules have been implicated in mesoderm induction and axis formation in Xenopus, and several of these exhibit unique patterns of expression during mouse gastrulation. These gene-expression data, together with fate mapping, ectopic expression experiments and mutational analysis, will now facilitate studies on the functional aspects of gastrulation in the mouse.
