Chapter 24.1, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction

A microbiome is defined as the functional collection of different microbes in a particular environmental system. “Microbiota” is used to refer the type of organisms that are present in that particular system. Human body contains around ten times more the number of microbes than it contains cells. Mostly the microbe’s present in humans form the normal flora but some of them present can be pathogenic. That is why it is important to know the type of microbes present in the microbiome and also the functions performed by it.

"One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE.  1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site  4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal  Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?
