title: The genome-wide molecular regulation of mouse gastrulation embryo.
abstract: The diverse morphologies among vertebrate species stems from the evolution of a basic body plan that is constituted by a spatially organized ensemble of tissue lineage progenitors. At gastrulation, this body plan is established through a coordinated morphogenetic process and the delineation of tissue lineages that are driven by the activity of the genome. To explore the molecular mechanisms, in a comprehensive context, it is imperative to glean an understanding of the region- and population-specific genetic activity underpinning this fundamental developmental process. In this review, we outline the recent progresses and the future directions in studies of genome activity for the regulation of mouse embryogenesis at gastrulation.
