Introduction
Vax1 is a novel homeobox gene discovered 1998 by a group of researchers in Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry [1] in the human and mouse genome, crucial to the development of the vertebrate forebrain, olfactory, and visual systems of mammals. Vax1 is a gene that directly regulates the activation of transcriptional factors such as Emx1, which is a crucial protein coding gene that induces the synthesis of the neural and ciliary structure of the frontal systems of the roof and archipallium of the brain during early development. Through the use of interspecific backcross analysis (crossing a hybrid with one of its parents or an individual genetically similar to its parent [2]
