ANN ARBOR—Zebrafish with very weak muscles helped scientists decode the elusive genetic mutation responsible for Native American myopathy, a rare, hereditary muscle disease that afflicts Native ...
Mutant zebrafish reveals a turning point in spine's evolution Single-letter change in DNA also makes the fish a useful model for human spinal defects ...
To test the theory, researchers positioned a bead soaked in human Sdf onto the skin of zebrafish embryo. Even in the choker mutant, this bead attracted the melanophores to where it was implanted.
This is possible because larval zebrafish have transparent flesh, and mutant larval zebrafish have neurons that light up when they fire, so scientists can just look in with a microscope and see ...
In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...
That’s why Poss and his lab have spent the last several years creating Skinbow: a mutant zebrafish with fluorescent markers embedded in the DNA code of its skin cells.
The mutant fish are named spondo, short for spondylos which is Greek for spine, and also a reference to dispondyly, a condition where each vertebra has two bony arches not one. But that's not the ...
The eyes of these zebrafish did not develop correctly, resulting in them being significantly smaller than the eyes of wild zebrafish. Around 15 years ago, a group of researchers discovered mutant ...
Zebrafish The key to understanding vertebrate development and the origins of human birth defects may lie with the fishes--that is, with the zebrafishes (Danio rerio). Using zebrafish mutants produced ...
Zebrafish are one of the most well studied animals on the planet. But how they came by their beautiful black and gold stripes is more of a mystery. How Mutant Zebrafish Helped Unlock the Secret to ...
It is needed in late steps of the assembly of large ribosomal subunits 20 and is a regulator of p53. 21 Because knockout of grwd1 was lethal in zebrafish, we generated first-generation (F0) mosaic ...
