The evolution of morphological complexity in zebrafish stripes.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Mar 2002

Mellgren Eve M, Johnson Stephen L

Abstract excerpt

The zebrafish pigment stripe pattern is a complex tissue containing iridophores, xanthophores and multiple melanocyte types. Mutational analysis reveals that both ancient and recent gene duplications are involved in the generation or maintenance of the pattern complexity. Receptor tyrosine kinases kit and fms, products of an ancient gene duplication, are required in distinct types of melanocytes and xanthophores....
