An amphioxus Gli gene reveals conservation of midline patterning and the evolution of hedgehog signalling diversity in chordates
Background. Hedgehog signalling, interpreted in receiving cells by Gli transcription factors, plays a central role in the development of vertebrate and Drosphila embryos. Many aspects of the signalling pathway are conserved between these lineages, however vertebrates have diverged in at least one ke...
