Genetic dissection of vertebrate processes in the zebrafish: a comparison of uniparental and two-generation screens.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic dissection is used to identify important genes in biological processes and is accomplished through the generation and study of mutations in model organisms. In diploid organisms, recessive mutations must be rendered hemizygous or homozygous for the mutant phenotype to be detected. In zebrafish (Danio rerio), this can be accomplished in two ways: (i) crosses between siblings who are potential carriers (in...
