Abstract excerpt
Regional patterning of the mammalian telencephalon requires the function of three homeodomain-containing transcription factors, Pax6, Gsh2 and Nkx2.1. These factors are required for the development of the dorsal, lateral and medial domains of the telencephalon, respectively. Previous work has indicated that two of the genes encoding these factors, Pax6 and Gsh2, cross-repress one another in the formation of the...
