Proper dendritic branching is required for neuronal function. Although a number of genes that regulate dendritic branching have recently been identified, the mechanisms by which these genes control morphogenesis remain unknown. As many genes are expressed in multiple tissues and at multiple developmental time points, it is important to determine the specific cell-autonomous roles for a particular gene in dendritic branching, independent of pleiotropic effects.
