We recently identifiedneurogenin (ngn), aneuroD-related bHLH gene,
whoseXenopushomolog functions as a neuronal determination factor and upstream
activator ofXneuroD (Maet al. Cell87: 43–52, 1996). Here we identify two additionalngn's,
ngn2andngn3, which together define a novel subfamily ofatonal-related mouse genes.
Comparative analysis ofngnexpression indicates that these three genes define distinct
progenitor populations in the developing CNS and PNS, exhibiting nonoverlapping …
