The identification of genes with unique and essential functions in the development of the zebrafish, Danio rerio

…, CP Heisenberg, RN Kelsh, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
In a large-scale screen, we isolated mutants displaying a specific visible phenotype in
embryos or early larvae of the zebrafish, Danio rerio. Males were mutagenized with …

Genes controlling and mediating locomotion behavior of the zebrafish embryo and larva

…, T Trowe, M Brand, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
Zebrafish embryos and larvae have stage-specific patterns of motility or locomotion. Two
embryonic structures accomplish this behavior: the central nervous system (CNS) and skeletal …

Mutations affecting somite formation and patterning in the zebrafish, Danio rerio

…, U Schach, M Brand, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
Somitogenesis is the basis of segmentation of the mesoderm in the trunk and tail of
vertebrate embryos. Two groups of mutants with defects in this patterning process have been …

Mutations affecting the cardiovascular system and other internal organs in zebrafish

…, M Brand, FJM Eeden, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
In a screen for early developmental mutants of the zebrafish, we have identified mutations
specifically affecting the internal organs. We identified 53 mutations affecting the …

Zebrafish pigmentation mutations and the processes of neural crest development

…, MC Mullins, FJM Eeden, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
Neural crest development involves cell-fate specification, proliferation, patterned cell
migration, survival and differentiation. Zebrafish neural crest derivatives include three distinct …

Genes establishing dorsoventral pattern formation in the zebrafish embryo: the ventral specifying genes

…, M Brand, FJM Eeden, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
We identified 6 genes that are essential for specifying ventral regions of the early zebrafish
embryo. Mutations in these genes cause an expansion of structures normally derived from …

Jaw and branchial arch mutants in zebrafish I: branchial arches

…, FJM Eeden, RN Kelsh, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
Jaws and branchial arches together are a basic, segmented feature of the vertebrate head.
Seven arches develop in the zebrafish embryo (Danio rerio), derived largely from neural …

Mutations affecting development of the zebrafish inner ear and lateral line

…, U Schach, M Brand, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
Mutations giving rise to anatomical defects in the inner ear have been isolated in a large
scale screen for mutations causing visible abnormalities in the zebrafish embryo ( Haffter, P., …

Mutations affecting morphogenesis during gastrulation and tail formation in the zebrafish, Danio rerio

…, M Brand, FJM Eeden, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
We have identified several genes that are required for various morphogenetic processes
during gastrulation and tail formation. Two genes are required in the anterior region of the body …

Characterization of zebrafish mutants with defects in embryonic hematopoiesis

…, M Brand, FJM Eeden, M Furutani-Seiki… - …, 1996 - journals.biologists.com
As part of a large scale chemical mutagenesis screen of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) genome,
we have identified 33 mutants with defects in hematopoiesis. Complementation analysis …
