Formation of posterior cranial placode derivatives requires the Iroquois transcription factor irx4a

Members of the Iroquois ( Irx) homeodomain transcription factor gene family have been implicated in a variety of early developmental processes, including neural pre-patterning, tissue differentiation, neural crest development and cranial placode formation. Here, we report that, in zebrafish, the irx...
