Linking genotype, cell behavior, and phenotype: multidisciplinary perspectives with a basis in zebrafish patterns.

Abstract excerpt

Zebrafish are characterized by dark and light stripes, but mutants display a rich variety of altered patterns. These patterns arise from the interactions of brightly colored pigment cells, making zebrafish a self-organization problem. The diversity of patterns present in zebrafish and other emerging fish models provides an excellent system for elucidating how genes, cell behavior, and visible animal...
