A hybrid photoreceptor expressing both rod and cone genes in a mouse model of enhanced S-cone syndrome.

Rod and cone photoreceptors subserve vision under dim and bright light conditions, respectively. The differences in their function are thought to stem from their different gene expression patterns, morphologies, and synaptic connectivities. In this study, we have examined the photoreceptor cells of...
