Abstract excerpt
The T-box transcription factor Tbx1 is required for inner ear morphogenesis. Tbx1 null mutants have a small otocyst that fails to grow and remodel and does not give rise to the vestibular and cochlear apparata. Here we show that Tbx1 expression-driven cell tracing identifies a population of otic epithelial cells that contributes to most of the otocyst. Tbx1 is essential for the contribution of this population to...
