Abstract excerpt
We used retrovirus-mediated gene transfer to study the migration of clonally related cells in the developing chicken optic tectum. Clonal cohorts initially form radial arrays in the ventricular zone (approximately E5), but eventually divide into three separate migratory streams. In the first migration, a minor population of cells migrates tangentially along axon fascicles in medio-laterally directed files...
