Project description:We identified Nodal and Foxh1 downstream targets by performing RNA-seq of embryos either treated with small molecule SB431542 or microinjected morpholino anti-sense oligo against Foxh1.
Project description:We defined the genome-wide binding regions of Smad2/3 and Foxh1 at mid-gastrula stage Xenopus tropicalis embryos, at which Nodal signaling and Foxh1 are critical in mesendoderm specification program.
Project description:We examined the binding dynamics of the maternal TF Foxh1 over a time course of germ layer development. Foxh1 binding was compared to the onset of zygotic transcription (RNA pol II), binding of the co-repressor Tle, Nodal signaling (Smad2/3) and the zygotic endoderm TF Foxa.
