Protochordate Zic genes define primitive somite compartments and highlight molecular changes underlying neural crest evolution.
The vertebrate Zic gene family encodes C2H2 zinc finger transcription factors closely related to the Gli proteins. Zic genes are expressed in multiple areas of developing vertebrate embryos, including the dorsal neural tube where they act as potent neural crest inducers. Here we describe the charact...
