Abstract excerpt
The zebrafish perplexed mutation disrupts cell proliferation and differentiation during retinal development. In addition, growth and morphogenesis of the tectum, jaw, and pectoral fins are also affected. Positional cloning was used to identify a mutation in the carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase2-aspartate transcarbamylase-dihydroorotase (cad) gene as possibly causative of the perplexed mutation and this was...
