GENE – gene name according to Xenbase.org; RAX KD – fold decrease in expression of gene upon knockdown of rax expression; CMZ EXP – expression in the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) visualized by in situ hybridization on sectioned material as shown in Figure 2 (+ denotes CMZ expression, − denotes lack of CMZ expression, * denotes ubiquitous expression within the neural retina); RESCUE – significant rescue of the rax knockdown phenotype by microinjection of RNA encoding the gene (significance is stated in the text); REFERENCES (XENOPUS) – PubMed ID (PMID) of literature reference to the Xenopus ortholog of the gene, where it exists; UNIGENE ID – UniGene ID of Xenopus laevis ortholog of the gene.

Notes:

^{1 -}“loc” denotes loc100498624 and is also known as MGC86492

^{2 -}sox11.L and sox11.S have individual Unigene IDs.
