It is a member of the Ski gene family and is thought to be involved in eye development.

We're unaware of any such phenomenon that would affect eye development.

Clues to how environmental influences affect eye development have been found in experiments on chickens.

Both the optic vesicle and the head epidermis are required for eye development.

This gene is a regulator of eye development.

This gene is a regulator of and controls many aspects of eye development.

This protein is involved in lens formation during eye development.

On the next page we'll learn about cochlear implants and artificial eye development.

What the startling experiments do suggest, however, is that scientists may have discovered the long-sought "master control gene" for eye development.

The researchers are conducting further experiments to determine exactly how the lens tissue sets off eye development.
