Abstract excerpt
The role of zebrafish hedgehog genes in branchiomotor neuron development was analyzed by examining mutations that affect the expression of the hedgehog genes and by overexpressing these genes in embryos. In cyclops mutants, reduction in sonic hedgehog (shh) expression, and elimination of tiggy-winkle hedgehog (twhh) expression, correlated with reductions in branchiomotor neuron populations. Furthermore,...
