Comment
FGF8/17/18 cis-regulatory region drives a constitutively active form of FGFR. A constitutively active form of the ciona FGF receptor (Ci-FGFR) was created by fusing the intracellular kinase domain of Ci-FGFR to the first 455 amino acids from the Drosophila torso mutant (Shi and Levine 2008).
