Evolution of dental tissue mineralization: an analysis of the jawed vertebrate SPARC and SPARC-L families

Abstract Background The molecular bases explaining the diversity of dental tissue mineralization across gnathostomes are still poorly understood. Odontodes, such as teeth and body denticles, are serial structures that develop through deployment of a gene regulatory network shared between all gnathos...
