| - | Mammals have three Hedgehog homologues, Desert (DHH), Indian (IHH), and Sonic (SHH), of which Sonic is the best studied. The pathway is equally important during vertebrate embryonic development and is therefore of interest in evolutionary developmental biology. | + | Mammals have three Hedgehog homologues, Desert (DHH), Indian (IHH), and Sonic (SHH), of which Sonic is the best studied.<ref>PMID: 7916661</ref> The pathway is equally important during vertebrate embryonic development and is therefore of interest in evolutionary developmental biology. |
