Abstract excerpt
Endocrine pancreas of zebrafish consist of at least four different cell types that function similarly to mammalian pancreatic islet. No mutants specifically affecting formation of the endocrine pancreas have been identified during the previous large-scale mutagenesis screens in zebrafish due to invisibility of a pancreatic islet. We combined in situ hybridization method to visualize pancreatic islet with an...
