“…RGCs and ACs can be further divided into > 30 and > 40 subtypes, respectively, based on molecular, morphological, and physiological features ( MacNeil and Masland, 1998 ; Lin and Masland, 2006 ; Sanes and Masland, 2015 ; Baden et al, 2016 ; Bae et al, 2018 ; Rheaume et al, 2018 ; Yan et al, 2020 ). The processes of generating and maintaining this diversity largely remain elusive, but transcription factor codes have been shown to be important for neuronal subtype specification and maintenance ( Guillemot, 2007 ; Deneris and Hobert, 2014 ; Peng et al, 2017 ; Sajgo et al, 2017 ; Lyu et al, 2021 ).…”
