In this episode of Genetics Unzipped, supported by the Institute of Genetics and Cancer at the University of Edinburgh, Kat Arney sits down with Professor Bob Hill to take a look at the story of our favourite gene (we’ve all got one, right?).

From six-toed cats to cyclops lambs – and, of course, it’s fabulous name – the Sonic Hedgehog gene has a fascinating history, as well as a whole bunch of interesting developmental biology behind it.
