Conserved role of the Vsx genes supports a monophyletic origin for bilaterian visual systems.

Current biology : CB - 9 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Components of the genetic network specifying eye development are conserved from flies to humans, but homologies between individual neuronal cell types have been difficult to identify. In the vertebrate retina, the homeodomain-containing transcription factor Chx10 is required for both progenitor cell proliferation and the development of the bipolar interneurons, which transmit visual signals from...
