TL;DR: The results confirm and extend a previous report, and show that at least one member of this conserved signalling pathway is required for formation of the boundary between midbrain and hindbrain in the zebrafish.

TL;DR: Mutations giving rise to anatomical defects in the inner ear have been isolated in a large scale screen for mutations causing visible abnormalities in the zebrafish embryo and show an expected behavioural phenotype: embryos fail to balance correctly, and may swim on their sides, upside down, or in circles.

TL;DR: The phenotypes suggests that dino and mercedes are required for the establishment of dorsal fates in both the marginal and the animal zone of the early gastrula embryo.

TL;DR: 26 mutants in 13 complementation groups that show abnormal development of large regions of the brain in the zebrafish are described, some of them have transient phenotypes, and mutant individuals may grow up to adults.

TL;DR: Several genes that are required for various morphogenetic processes during gastrulation and tail formation are identified, particularly in the anterior region of the body axis: one eyed pinhead and dirty nose.
