Temporal transcriptomic profiling reveals dynamic changes in gene expression of Xenopus animal cap upon activin treatment

Abstract Activin, a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of proteins, induces various tissues from the amphibian presumptive ectoderm, called animal cap explants (ACs) in vitro. However, it remains unclear how and to what extent the resulting cells recapitulate in vivo deve...
