Abstract
⺠Conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) linked to Sox21 contain two lens enhancers. ⺠Removal of these enhancers from a reporter BAC abolishes lens expression. ⺠Morpholino knockdown of zebrafish sox21b leads to defects in lens development. ⺠Conserved putative Sox binding sites are vital for enhancer activity in lens and CNS. ⺠CNEs are crucial for normal development and contain overlapping embryonic enhancers.
