Abstract
The boundary of gene expression of transcription factors often plays a role in making a signaling center in development. In the otic vesicle, Gbx2 is expressed in the dorso-medial region including the endolymphatic duct, and Otx2 in the ventral region. Fgf10 is expressed between their expression boundaries, and the cochleovestibular ganglion develops close to the medial side of the Fgf10 expressing domain. Similar expression patterns are observed in the central nervous system, where Otx2 and Gbx2 expression abut at the mid-hindbrain boundary, and the repressive interaction between Otx2 and Gbx2 defines the mid-hindbrain boundary. These analogous expression patterns raise a question about the role of the interaction between Gbx2 and Otx2 in the otic vesicle. To address this, we misexpressed Gbx2 and Otx2 to the otic epithelium. Ectopic Gbx2 expression could repress Otx2 expression and vice versa. In addition, Fgf10 expression was repressed and cochlear ganglion formation was interfered with. Moreover, endolymphatic duct was severely hypomorphic in the Otx2 misexpressing embryos. These results suggest that the interaction between Gbx2 and Otx2 in developing inner ear defines Fgf10 expression domain to induce the cochlear ganglion. It is also suggested that Gbx2 expression is important for the formation of the endolymphatic duct.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
