Integrated functional genomics and craniofacial morphogenesis within the FaceBase Consortium: Alk5 mutant

Congenital malformations in facial bones significantly impact the overall representation of the face. Establishing correlations between gene expression and morphogenesis of craniofacial structures may lead to new discoveries of molecular mechanisms of craniofacial development. Thus in the present investigation, we will generate gene expression profiles of facial bones at embryo stage 14.5 to establish their roles in regulating craniofacial development.
