Pattern formation in zebrafish--fruitful liaisons between embryology and genetics.

Abstract excerpt

Vertebrate embryos, despite quite diverse early morphologies, appear to employ similar cellular strategies and conserved biochemical pathways in their development (Eyal-Giladi, 1997). In the past decade, a small tropical teleost, zebrafish (Danio rerio), became an important model system in which to study development (Streisinger et al., 1981). By combining embryology with molecular and classical genetic methods,...
