Abstract excerpt

An outstanding problem in the study of vertebrate development is the identification of the genes that direct neural crest precursor cells to adopt and maintain specific differentiated cell fates. In an effort to identify such genes, we have carried out a mutagenesis screen in zebrafish and isolated mutants that lack neural crest-derived melanophores. In this manuscript we describe the phenotype of one such...
