Abstract excerpt
Purpose: NRL is an influential transcription factor and central to animal modeling in ophthalmology. Disrupting NRL abrogates rod development and produces an excess of S-cones (also known as "UV cones" or "short-wavelength-sensitive1 [SWS1] cones"). Strikingly, mutations in zebrafish tbx2b produce the exact opposite phenotypes (excess rods and loss of SWS1 cones). We sought to define what genetic relationship...
