Project description:The signaling molecule retinoic acid (RA) regulates rod and cone photoreceptor fate, differentiation, and survival. The purpose of this study was to identify eye-specific genes controlled by RA during photoreceptor differentiation in the zebrafish.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling performed from total eye RNA extracts of wildtype control fishes versus Prpf31 morpholino injected larvae (at ~72hpf) two-condition experiment: wildtype zebrafish versus MO-Prpf31 injected zebrafish eye RNA; 6 replicates each (extraction from 6 pools (~200 eyes each) of controls and 6 pools MO-Prpf31 (~200 eyes each))
