Genetics Unzipped podcast: Six toed cats and cyclops lambs – the story of Sonic Hedgehog
Posted by Kat Arney, on 1 July 2021
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.
