Molecular cloning and developmental expression of foxP2 in zebrafish

Forkhead domain transcription factors are a large gene family with multiple roles in development. FOXP2 , a recently identified member of this family, has been shown to be critical for normal development of language in humans, but little is known of its broader function during nervous system development. We report here the cloning of foxP2 , the zebrafish ortholog of FOXP2 . Zebrafish FoxP2 is highly conserved in its zinc‐finger and forkhead...
