Welcome

EmbryoDGEMap stands for Developmental Gene Expression Map.

It is the first ever "Design Study" for a pan-European research infrastructure dedicated to the analysis of gene expression patterns in early human development.

Newcastle University (UK) was granted the coordination of DGEMap by the European Commission under the Sixth Framework Programme.
The project started in April 2005 and will end in July 2009.

The core team of the project consists of 14 people from 8 nationalities. They are biologists, geneticists, computer scientists, software engineers and ethicists.

Progressive loss of PAX6, TBR2, NEUROD and TBR1 mRNA gradients correlates with translocation of EMX2 to the cortical plate during human cortical development

The transcription factors Emx2 and Pax6 are expressed in the proliferating zones of the developing rodent neocortex, and gradients
of expression interact in specifying caudal and rostral identities. Pax6 is also involved in corticoneurogenesis, being exp
