Abstract excerpt
Ectothermic vertebrates exhibit a diverse array of pigment cell types-chromatophores-that provide valuable opportunities to uncover mechanisms of fate specification and how they evolve. Like melanocytes of mammals, the melanophores of teleosts and other ectotherms depend on basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors encoded by orthologues of MITF. A different chromatophore, the iridescent...
