Yin and Frasch, 1998). Together with the zinc finger homeobox gene zfli-I, tinman is also required for normal formation of the gonadal mesoderm (Boyle et al., 1997 Broihier et al., 1998). It is likely that the functions of tinman in these developmental processes are required during its early phase of expression in the entire trunk mesoderm.
