The CNIC scientists, working with investigators at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the Sloan-Kettering Institute and the University of Kumamoto, have identified a regulatory element implicated in the function of a gene that plays a crucial role in the first cell differentiation event, which gives rise to the embryonic and extraembryonic cell lineages. The discovery is published in Developmental Cell.
