Overexpression of mouse Pou5f1 rescues zebrafish embryos mutant for Pou5f1Evolutionary conservation of function
Overexpression of mouse Pou5f1 rescues zebrafish embryos mutant for Pou5f1Evolutionary conservation of function • Mouse and zebrafish Pou5f1 share targets: • Comparison with mouse Oct4 target sets • (genes with homology info only): • Sharov et al, BMC Genomics 2008 • (Matoba et al., 2006 and Loh et al., 2006) 453 49 406 zebrafish mouse
