Abstract:Pan-otic CRE drivers enable gene regulation throughout the otic placode lineage, comprising the inner ear epithelium and neurons. However, intersection of extra-otic gene-of-interest expression with the CRE lineage can compromise viability and impede auditory analyses. Furthermore, extant pan-otic CREs recombine in auditory and vestibular brain nuclei, making it difficult to ascribe resulting phenotypes solely to the inner ear. We previously identified Slc26a9 as an otic placode-specific target of FGFR2b ligan… Show more
