Molecular Characterization of the Sea Lamprey Retina Illuminates the Evolutionary Origin of Retinal Cell Types
Summary:
The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of retinal cell types by studying the retina of the sea lamprey, a primitive jawless vertebrate, and comparing it to the retinas of mouse and other jawed vertebrates.
