Heterochronic transcription factor expression drives cone-dominant retina development in 13-lined ground squirrels.
Evolutionary adaptation to diurnal vision in ground squirrels has led to the development of a cone-dominant retina, in stark contrast to the rod-dominant retinas of most mammals. The molecular mechani...
