The possibility that mechanisms of retinal determination may be similar between vertebrates and Drosophila has been supported by the observations that Pax6/eyeless genes are necessary and sufficient for retinal development. These studies suggest that the function of other gene families, operating during early eye development, might also be conserved. One candidate is the retinal homeobox (Rx) family of...
