Comment

The 2.6 kb genomic DNA segment located upstream of Coe (REG00001266) directs expression of Islet (L152.2) in all of the differentiating visceral ganglion neural precursors. Islet protein-coding cDNA sequence was amplified by RT-PCR. First-strand cDNA synthesis was performed off mixed-stage embryo whole mRNA preparations using oligo-dT primer. For PCR, the following primers were used (left to right=5′ to 3′):Islet cDNA N F, ATGAACGAATCATTCGCCATTTTC; Islet cDNA C R, TTAGCTACACGCCGGTACAGTTG. Islet primers were designed based on available mRNA, EST and genomic sequence data.
