Abstract excerpt
During vertebrate gastrulation, convergence and extension (C&E) movements shape and position the somites that form the fast and slow muscles. In zebrafish knypek;trilobite non-canonical Wnt mutants, defective C&E movements cause misshapen somites and reduction of slow muscle precursors, the adaxi...
