Fig. 5From: A Genetic Perspective on Eye Evolution: Gene Sharing, Convergence and ParallelismTranscription factors that are used for lens development and activation of crystallin promoters in different species. Many more transcription factors are used, of course, but these are critically important and serve as examples of the convergent evolution of the recruitment and expression of nonhomologous crystallin genes in different species.
