Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Regulatory interactions specifying Kolmer-Agduhr interneurons.

Yang L, Rastegar S, Straehle U

In the zebrafish spinal cord, two classes of neurons develop from the lateral floor plate: Kolmer-Agduhr' (KA') and V3 interneurons. We show here that the differentiation of the correct number of KA' cells depends on the activity of the homeobox transcription factor Nkx2.9. This factor acts in concert with Nkx2.2a and Nkx2.2b. These factors are also required for the expression ... [more]

Throughput

  • Low Throughput

Additional Notes

  • Based on a triple morphant which included nkx2.2a, nkx2.2b, and nkx2.9. The triple mutant has a more severe phenotype than any combination of two of these genes.
