Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rhombomere boundaries form during hindbrain segmentation and are critical for maintaining segmental integrity and regulating migration in the hindbrain. Some genetic models affecting hindbrain boundary formation have been described, but involvement of components of the transcriptional mediator complex in boundary formation has not reported so far. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The kto/med12 mutant zebrafish,...
