Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Brachyury is the first member to be identified of a family of evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that play major roles in development and disease in widely different organisms. Brachyury and the other T-box transcription factors are able to control gene expression by binding the regulatory regions of their target genes.
