Abstract

Temporal sequences of transcription factors (tTFs) in Drosophila neural progenitors generate neuronal diversity. Mattar etal. (2015) identify Casz1/Castor as a late temporal identity factor in mouse retinal progenitors that is regulated by the early factor Ikzf1/Hunchback, thus generalizing the notion of tTFs.
