To uncover unknown developmental regulatory mechanisms in vertebrates, we conducted chemical mutagenesis screening and identified a novel mutation, kanazutsi (kzt). This mutation is recessive, and its homozygotes are embryonic lethal. Mutant embryos suffered from a variety of morphological defects, such as head flattening,...
