Assembling the building blocks in the blueprint of the embryonic head

该项目旨在分析和估算基因组活动，并验证构成胚胎头部构建块的各种组织在时间和空间上生成的细胞和分子机制。知识的获得丰富了我们的理解头部形成的早期步骤在胚胎发育过程中的背景下的生态位条件与祖细胞状态的收购，增强谱系倾向，并推动早期谱系分化。这项关于模式生物发育生物学的研究的预期成果提供了一个机制框架，可用于建立可能在多个哺乳动物物种中保存的发育蓝图。

This project aims to profile and impute the genome activity and validate the cellular and molecular mechanism underpinning the generation, in time and space, of diverse types of tissues that constitute the building blocks of the embryonic head. The knowledge gain enriches our understanding of the early steps of head formation during embryogenesis in the context of the niche conditions associated with the acquisition of progenitor state, enhancement of lineage propensity, and driving early lineage differentiation. Expected outcome of this research on the developmental biology of a model organism provides a framework of the mechanism of establishing a blueprint of development that may be conserved across multiple mammalian species.
