The genes highlighted in color are those that were subjected to experimental validation in medaka. Green: genes specifically expressed in the otic vesicle and affected by Pax2/8 overexpression (see also Figure 3). Blue: genes expressed in the otic vesicle but not affected by Pax2/8 overexpression (see also Additional data file 3). Pink: genes not expressed in the otic vesicle.
