How the zebrafish gets its stripes.

Developmental biology - 15 Dec 2001

Rawls J F, Mellgren E M, Johnson S L

Abstract excerpt

The study of vertebrate pigment patterns is a classic and enduring field of developmental biology. Knowledge of pigment pattern development comes from a variety of systems, including avians, mouse, and more recently, the zebrafish (Danio rerio). Recent analyses of the mechanisms underlying the development of the neural crest-derived pigment cell type common to all vertebrates, the melanocyte, have revealed...
