“…Whereas others are more specifically involved in rod (RORB, NRL, NR2E3, ESRRB, CASZ1, and SAMD7) 22 – 27 or cone development and/or function (THRB, RXRG, RORA, COUP-TFI/COUP-TFII, and OC1/OC2) 28 , 29 . In zebrafish, studies have begun to identify additional transcription factors required for the development of specific cone subtypes: tbx2b in UV cones 30 , foxq2 in blue cones 31 , six6a , six6b , and six7 in blue and green cones 32 , and thrb in red cones 33 , 34 . Despite these advances, the architecture of the transcriptional regulatory networks that govern photoreceptor diversification in zebrafish remain largely unknown.…”
