Analysis of Müller glia specific genes and their histone modification using Hes1-promoter driven EGFP expressing mouse

Abstract Retinal neurons and Müller glia are generated from a common population of multipotent retinal progenitor cells. We purposed to identify Müller glia-specific molecular signatures during retinal development. Using transgenic mice carrying the Hes1 promoter (pHes1) followed by EGFP, we purifie...
