▪ Abstract This review provides a synthesis that combines data from classical
experimentation and recent advances in our understanding of early eye development …

The sine oculis homeobox (SIX) protein family is a group of evolutionarily conserved
transcription factors that are found in diverse organisms that range from flatworms to …

The new edition of The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages
represents the integration of analysis of the serial sections of human embryos in the …

ABSTRACT optix is a new member of the Six/so gene family from Drosophila that contains
both a six domain and a homeodomain. Because of its high amino acid sequence similarity …

The establishment of retinal identity and the subsequent patterning of the optic vesicle are
the key steps in early vertebrate eye development. To date little is known about the nature …

The Drosophila gene sine oculis (so), a nuclear homeoprotein that is required for eye
development, has several homologues in vertebrates (the SIX gene family). Among them …

The complete absence of eyes in the medaka fish mutation eyeless is the result of defective
optic vesicle evagination. We show that the eyeless mutation is caused by an intronic …

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft‐tissue sarcoma characterized by
distinctive morphological and cytogenetical features. As its name implies, EMC was believed …

Six4 is a member of the Six family genes, homologues of Drosophila melanogaster sine
oculis. The gene is thought to be involved in neurogenesis, myogenesis, and development …

The near-catholic conservation of paired box gene 6 (Pax6) and its supporting cast of retinal
determination genes throughout the animal kingdom has sparked a scientific war over the …
