Abstract:
The present invention discloses nucleic acids containing transcriptional control elements that are lens transcriptional control elements. One such lens transcriptional control element is exemplified by the control element of the Pax-6 gene. Methods of using these lens transcriptional control elements for drug assays, diagnostics and for identifying transcription factors involved in lens development are also disclosed.
