Abstract excerpt
Lmx1a/b paralogous genes, which arose from the invertebrate Lmx1b-like gene, are critical for hearing in multiple vertebrate species, and mutations in these genes cause hearing deficits in humans. While the unique and redundant functions of Lmx1a/b in the inner ear are well established, their contribution to the development of the cochlear nuclei, which process and relay auditory information to the brain, is...
