Genes involved in cardiac development and disease identified
Genes that could be involved in heart development have been identified using a method that looks for candidate genes not solely expressed in heart tissue.
A transcription factor is a protein that binds to a particular DNA sequence in order to control the rate at which a nearby gene is transcribed and expressed.
