The expression of Pax6 and retinal determination genes in the eyeless arachnid A. longisetosus reveals vestigial eye primordia
{{output}}
Background: Evidence suggests that Pax6 genes are necessary for the specification of eyes in a variety of metazoans, including mandibulate arthropods. In these arthropods, Pax6 genes usually interact with a conserved set of genes... ...
