Detailed Instructions: Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.
Problem:Question: Are dact genes chordate specific regulators at the intersection of Wnt and Tgf- signaling pathways?
Answer: The gnathostome Dact gene family comprises four members, derived from a chordate-specific ancestor. The ability to control Wnt signaling seems to be part of the ancestral repertoire of Dact functions, while the ability to inhibit Tgf signaling and to carry out specialized, ortholog-specific roles may have evolved later. The complement of Dact genes coexpressed in a tissue provides a complex way to fine-tune Wnt and Tgf signaling. Our work provides the basis for future structural and functional studies aimed at unraveling intracellular regulatory networks.
Solution:
yes
