Comparative Genetics of Structural Birth Defects: The genomic sequences for a number of invertebrates and vertebrates, including man, are completed or nearing completion. For the developmental biology community to maximize its ability to efficiently and effectively use this publicly available data, systematic research in the areas of functional and comparative genomics needs to be stimulated. A key component of functional and comparative studies must be examinations of a given genetic pathway in more than one animal model. These comparisons, under controlled conditions, will allow us to elucidate which genes, gene products, genetic networks, and molecular cascades are conserved and which are of critical importance in normal and abnormal development. The purpose of this RFA is to solicit applications or competitive supplements for individual research projects that will examine a family of genes or gene products, known to be important in development, in two or more animal models. These approaches will help us to understand which genes, gene products and modifications are of general importance in increasing our understanding of normal and abnormal development, as well as allow us to catalog such differences and similarities. These studies will enable us to better understand the faithfulness with which developmental processes are conserved across species.
