Genetic Screen for Postembryonic Development in the Zebrafish (Danio rerio): Dominant Mutations Affecting Adult Form
Katrin Henke,Katrin Henke,Jacob M. Daane,Jacob M. Daane,M. Brent Hawkins,M. Brent Hawkins,Christopher M. Dooley,Elisabeth M. Busch-Nentwich,Elisabeth M. Busch-Nentwich,Derek L. Stemple,Matthew P. Harris,Matthew P. Harris +11 more
TL;DR: To understand the genetic control of postembryonic development, a dominant screen for phenotypes affecting the adult zebrafish is performed and mutational analysis suggests that there are key genes and pathways associated with late development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical contingency shapes adaptive radiation in Antarctic fishes
Jacob M. Daane,Alex Dornburg,Patrick Smits,Daniel J. MacGuigan,M. Brent Hawkins,M. Brent Hawkins,Thomas J. Near,Thomas J. Near,H. William Detrich,Matthew P. Harris,Matthew P. Harris +10 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic comparative analysis of Antarctic notothenioid fishes reveals a burst of genomic diversification and evolution of key skeletal modifications before the onset of polar conditions in the Southern Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shared developmental programme strongly constrains beak shape diversity in songbirds
Joerg A. Fritz,Joseph Brancale,Masayoshi Tokita,Kevin J. Burns,M. Brent Hawkins,Arhat Abzhanov,Michael Brenner +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the dynamics of the proliferative growth zone must follow restrictive rules to explain the observed variation, with beak diversity constrained to a three parameter family of shapes, parameterized by length, depth and the degree of shear.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bowfin genome illuminates the developmental evolution of ray-finned fishes.

Harris,Ingo Braasch +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, a chromosome-level genome assembly for the bowfin (Amia calva) is presented, which enables gene-order analyses, settling long-debated neopterygian phylogenetic relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Latent developmental potential to form limb-like skeletal structures in zebrafish.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify zebrafish mutants that form supernumerary long bones in their pectoral fin. This phenotype is caused by activating mutations in previously unrecognized regulators of appendage patterning, vav2 and waslb, that function in a common pathway.
