Abstract excerpt
Krox-20, a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor, plays an important role in rhombomere development. This study reveals that the Krox-20 null mutation impacts the development of mesencephalic trigeminal (Me5) neurons, a cell group traditionally thought to emerge from the mesencephalon. Based on cell counting studies, we show that Krox-20 null mutants have twice as many Me5 neurons relative to wildtypes at...
