Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are rapidly gaining popularity in translational neuroscience and
behavioral research. Physiological similarity to mammals, ease of genetic manipulations, …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events have shaped the history of many evolutionary
lineages. One such duplication has been implicated in the evolution of teleost fishes, by far the …

The zebrafish is a recent vertebrate model system that shows great potential for a genetic
analysis of behavior. Early development is extraordinarily rapid, so that larvae already display …

As part of a large-scale mutagenesis screen of the zebrafish genome, we have identified 58
mutations that affect the formation and function of the cardiovascular system. The …

Claudins are major components of tight junctions and contribute to the epithelial-barrier
function by restricting free diffusion of solutes through the paracellular pathway. We have …

The zebrafish pronephric kidney provides a simplified model of nephron development and
epithelial cell differentiation which is amenable to genetic analysis. The pronephros consists …

We examined optokinetic and optomotor responses of 450 zebrafish mutants, which were
isolated previously based on defects in organ formation, tissue patterning, pigmentation, axon …

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a powerful model to study vertebrate development
and disease. Its short generation time makes it amenable to genetic manipulation and …

In a large scale mutagenesis screen for embryonic mutants in zebrafish, we have identified
63 mutations in 24 loci affecting the morphogenesis of the zebrafish brain. The expression of …

The zebrafish locus one-eyed pinhead (oep) is essential for the formation of anterior axial
mesoderm, endoderm and ventral neuroectoderm. At the beginning of gastrulation anterior …
