Cover Legend

In situ hybridization of a Xenopus embryo treated with retinoic acid showing a unique restricted pattern of expression of the xOtx2 midbrain marker gene ("moustache") and the xkrox20 rhombomeric marker gene ("eyebrows" [r5] and "eyes" [r3]). For more details, see paper by Tanibe et al. pp. 893-910 in the current issue.
