Corneal gene expression in sunrise/pax6b mutants in comparison to wildtype embryos.

Sections of wildtype and sunrise homozygous mutant embryos at 7 dpf were subjected to in situ gene expression analysis with 71 cornea gene probes. Gene expression in the mutant was compared with that of wildtype embryos. The results were grouped into three cases: 1) affected, down-regulated (42 genes), 2) affected, up-regulated or ectopically expressed (9 genes) and 3) not affected (20 genes).Corneal gene expression in sunrise/pax6b mutants in comparison to wildtype embryos.
