Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: It is estimated that the 372 genes defined by the mutants probably represent more than half of all genes that could have been discovered using the criteria of the screen, and the limits and the potentials of a genetic saturation screen in the zebrafish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silberblick/Wnt11 mediates convergent extension movements during zebrafish gastrulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that the zebrafish silberblick locus encodes Wnt11 and that Slb/Wnt11 activity is required for cells to undergo correct convergent extension movements during gastrulation, and that the correct extension of axial tissue is at least partly dependent on medio-lateral cell intercalation in paraxial tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Forces in Tissue Morphogenesis and Patterning

TL;DR: The interplay between tissue mechanics and biochemical signaling orchestrates tissue morphogenesis and patterning in development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tensile forces govern germ-layer organization in zebrafish

TL;DR: It is shown that differential actomyosin-dependent cell-cortex tension, regulated by Nodal/TGFβ-signalling (transforming growth factor β), constitutes a key factor that directs progenitor-cell sorting in germ-layer organization during gastrulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: Analysis of the behavioral defects suggests that these genes participate in the diverse locomotion patterns observed, such as touch response, rhythmic tail movements, equilibrium control, or that they simply confer general motility to the animal.
