...research is very important for understanding certain aspects of limb development," said Clifford J. Tabin, assistant professor of genetics at the Medical School and the principal author of one the three papers that appeared in Cell describing the gene with the curious name...
Scientists have long known that the posterior, or bottom, portion of the limb bud is important in signalling for developmental patterning. The group's work "demonstrated that the Sonic hedgehog gene encodes the key substance that makes the bottom of the limb bud so special," Tabin said...
...gene may have many implications for humans. "There is so much similarity in the limbs and we know so much about all of these systems that it's almost a certainty that this works the same way in humans," said Robert D.
