A day later, they transferred the tissue to other embryos still in their shells. The transplanted cells quickly grew into recognizable legs. By contrast, when the scientists transferred wing tissue without first infecting it with Tbx-4 genes, the tissue always grew into wings. That shows that Tbx-4 contains a full genetic blueprint for a leg, says Belmonte...
