High impact information on dmbx1a

  • During somitogenesis stages, the anterior expression of mbx, which partly overlaps the future eye field, gradually decreases, while midbrain expression intensifies and becomes restricted to the presumptive tectum [1].
  • Based on these data, we propose that the mbx homeobox gene is required for the development of the eyes and tectum [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of dmbx1a

  • Finally, quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR and whole mount in situ hybridization experiments revealed a pattern of partial spatiotemporal expression divergence between the mbx paralogs that correlates with sequence divergence in noncoding regulatory domains [2].
