Abstract excerpt
Zebrafish offer a tractable system for the study of retinal development and degeneration, to provide insights into human retinal degeneration. We have begun to dissect the question of neighborhood effects on photoreceptor differentiation and survival through the isolation and characterization of mutants with retinal degeneration. We describe two mutants, ebony and ivory, isolated through a behavioral screen for...
