The following mouse lines were used in this study: Atoh1lacZ/+ (catalog #005970, The Jackson Laboratory); Atoh1Cre/+ (Yang et al., 2010 (link)); Atoh1FlpO/+ (catalog #036541, The Jackson Laboratory); Atoh1flox/+(catalog #008681, The Jackson Laboratory); mRx-Cre (Klimova et al., 2013 (link)); Ai65 (catalog #021875, The Jackson Laboratory); and Ai14 (catalog #007914, The Jackson Laboratory). Ai65F mice were generated by crossing the Ai65 mice to Sox2-Cre mice (catalog #008454, The Jackson Laboratory). All mice were housed in a level 3, American Association for Laboratory Animal Science-certified facility on a 14 h light/dark cycle. Husbandry, housing, killing, and experimental guidelines were approved by the institutional animal care and use committee at Baylor College of Medicine.
