In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Using zebrafish mutants produced primarily by chemical mutagenesis, researchers have, in recent years, turned the popular aquarium pets, originally from India, into invaluable tools for understanding ...

Previous studies have shown that protein expression of DOCK7 is increased in skeletal muscle biopsies from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), leading researchers from the University of ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

“We found that the cone mosaic pattern, especially red cone arrangement, is disrupted in zebrafish Dscamb mutants.” In the early stage of photoreceptor differentiation in zebrafish, cone ...

As Bryson-Richardson and Ruparelia began studying MFM, they and colleagues developed a zebrafish mutant ...

One of the predominant systems for genetic screens related to the vasculature of zebrafish was developed ... DNA sequencing in the wild-type and the mutant organisms to discover the specific ...

Zebrafish are unassuming and undemanding. Almost every child knows that – at least any child that has kept fish in an aquarium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, these fish have been one of the ...
