Specification of sense-organ identity by a Caenorhabditis elegans Pax-6 homologue.

Nature - 7 Sept 1995

Zhang Y, Emmons S W

Abstract excerpt

The Pax-6 transcription-factor gene, containing a paired domain and a paired-type homeodomain, is conserved in structure and ubiquitously present among Metazoa. It is required for development of the central nervous system, and is mutated in human aniridia, mouse and rat small eye and Drosophila e...
