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 Drosophila gene sine oculis (so) is a nuclear homeoprotein, which is required for eye
development. Several homologues of so have been found in vertebrates. We report here a …

Six genes are vertebrate homologues of the homeobox-containing gene sine oculis, which
plays an essential role in controlling Drosophila compound eye development. Here we …

We describe the expression pattern of cSix3, a chick homologue of the murine Six3. cSix3
transcripts are expressed from presomitic stages in the most anterior portion of the neural …

In the past two decades, many studies have shown that sine oculis homeobox 1 (Six1) is a
powerful regulator of organogenesis and disease, with important roles in tumorigenesis; …

The murine homeobox gene Six3 and its Drosophila homologue sine oculis both have
regulatory functions in eye development. We report the isolation and characterization of two …

The initiation of eye formation in all seeing animals is controlled by a group of selector
genes that together forms the retinal determination cascade. In Drosophila, mice and …

The vertebrate Six family of transcription factor genes are homologues of the fruitfly gene
sine oculis (so). Human, murine, avian and fish (medaka, zebrafish) homologues have …

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 …

Six3 and Six6 are two genes required for the specification and proliferation of the eye field in
vertebrate embryos, suggesting that they might be the functional counterparts of the …
