During early embryogenesis, pattern formation processes along the head-trunk (anteroposterior, AP), belly-back (dorsoventral, DV) and left-right (LR) body axis generate the fundamental body plan of the bilateria. The formation of the LR axis is exceptional because externally our body is bilateral symmetric whereas most inner organs are shaped and positioned asymmetrically. The three body axes are basically specified during gastrulation and neurulation by a set of developmental control genes. The aim of this work was to analyze the function of the highly conserved genes, goosecoid (gsc), myosin1d (myo1d) und dmrt2 during body axis determination in Xenopus. The first chapter of this work describes the activity of the homeobox transcription f...
