Abstract excerpt
The cellular bases for evolutionary changes in adult form remain largely unknown. Pigment patterns of Danio fishes are a convenient system for studying these issues because of their diversity and accessibility and because one species, the zebrafish D. rerio, is a model organism for biomedical research. Previous studies have shown that in zebrafish, stripes form by migration and differentiation of distinct...
