Over the last decade, the use of the zebrafish as a genetic model has moved beyond the
proof-of-concept for the analysis of vertebrate embryonic development to demonstrated …

The zebrafish is a popular vertebrate model organism with similar organ systems and gene
sequences to humans. Zebrafish embryos are optically transparent enabling organ …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
biochemical and molecular aspects, or one that focuses aquatic toxicology in general. You …

Cilia play diverse roles in vertebrate and invertebrate sensory neurons. We show that a
mutation of the zebrafish oval (ovl) locus affects a component of the ciliary transport (IFT) …

The formation and function of cilia involves the movement of intraflagellar transport (IFT)
particles underneath the ciliary membrane, along axonemal microtubules,. Although this …

Mutations in several known or putative glycosyltransferases cause glycosylation defects in α-
dystroglycan (α-DG), an integral component of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex. The …

Background Polarity is an essential attribute of most eukaryotic cells. One of the most
prominent features of cell polarity in many tissues is the subdivision of cell membrane into …

The use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in scientific research is growing rapidly. It initially became
popular as a model of vertebrate development because zebrafish embryos develop rapidly …

The genus of filamentous cyanobacteria, Lyngbya, has been found to be a rich source of
bioactive metabolites. However, identification of such compounds from Lyngbya has largely …

Genetic screens in zebrafish identified several loci that play essential roles in the patterning
of retinal architecture. Here, we show that one of them, glass onion, encodes the N-cadherin …
