Patterning during organogenesis: genetic analysis of cardiac chamber formation.

Abstract excerpt

A classical genetic approach, in which mutagenized organisms are screened for phenotypes of interest, is appealing for the analysis of developmental processes. Here, we describe the advantages of zebrafish genetics for the study of heart development. As an example of the utility of this strategy, we discuss its potential to illuminate the molecular mechanisms of cardiac chamber formation. The signals that specify...
