Abstract excerpt
The Hedgehog (Hh) family of signalling molecules is essential for a wide range of developmental processes. Mammalian studies have implicated the Hedgehog pathway in the aetiology of anorectal malformations (ARMs), relatively common congenital anomalies caused by failures in the development of the cloaca. In this study we demonstrate that Hh signalling is absolutely required for the formation of the zebrafish...
