Abstract excerpt
To advance the understanding of genetic mechanisms involved in the patterning and the differentiation of the vertebrate auditory system, we screened for mutations affecting ear development in the zebrafish larva. Fifteen recessive mutant alleles have been isolated and analyzed. The phenotypes of these mutants involve abnormalities in ear morphology, otolith formation, or both processes in parallel. Among...
