Abstract excerpt
The Rx homeobox gene is a transcriptional regulator indispensable for development of the eye and ventral forebrain. Rx-null homozygotes lack optic pits, which are the earliest ocular structures. To study the roles Rx may play at various stages of eye and brain development, we generated an allelic series at the Rx locus. The targeted allele, Rx(neo), is a severely hypomorphic or null allele. This Rx(neo) allele is...
