Abstract excerpt
The vertebrate Sox9 transcription factor directs the development of neural crest, otic placodes, cartilage and bone. In zebrafish, there are two Sox9 orthologs, Sox9a and Sox9b, which together perform the functions of the single-copy tetrapod Sox9. In a large-scale genetic screen, we have identified a novel zebrafish mutant that strongly resembles the Sox9a/Sox9b double mutant phenotype. We show that this...
