Abstract excerpt
The early transcriptional hierarchy that subdivides the vertebrate hindbrain into seven to eight segments, the rhombomeres (r1-r8), is largely unknown. The Kreisler (MafB, Krml1, Val) gene is earliest gene expressed in an r5/r6-restricted manner and is essential for r5 and r6 development. We have identified the S5 regulatory element that directs early Kreisler expression in the future r5/r6 domain in 0-10 somite...
