Co-localization of FAM and AF-6, the mammalian homologues of Drosophila faf and canoe, in mouse eye development.

abstract：:During vertebrate eye development, the expression of the homeobox gene Six6 is restricted to the neural retina and is initiated later than Rx and Pax6 in the presumptive retina field. We show here that overexpression of mouse Six6 in Xenopus embryos can induce transformation of competent tissue of the anterior neural ...
