Abstract

Krox20 is a zinc finger gene expressed in rhombomeres 3 and 5 during hindbrain development in vertebrates. Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation that deletes the majority of the Krox20 genes, including the zinc finger DNA-binding domain, died shortly after birth. The primary phenotype of the homozygous mutant animals was the loss of rhombomeres 3 and 5. This resulted in fusions of the trigeminal ganglion with the facial and vestibular ganglia, and of the superior ganglia of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. These fusions resulted in a disorganization of the nerve roots of these ganglia as they entered the brain stem. These data demonstrate that Krox20 plays an essential role during development of the hindbrain and associated cranial sensory ganglia in mice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
