Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations affecting xanthophore pigmentation in the zebrafish, Danio rerio.
J. Odenthal,K. Rossnagel,P. Haffter,Robert N. Kelsh,Elisabeth Vogelsang,Michael Brand,F. J. M. Van Eeden,Makoto Furutani-Seiki,Michael Granato,M. Hammerschmidt,Carl-Philipp Heisenberg,Y.-J. Jiang,D. A. Kane,Mary C. Mullins,Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard +14 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that these genes are required for three different aspects of xanthophore development: pigment cell formation and migration (pfeffer and salz); pigment synthesis (edison, yobo, yocca and brie); and pigment translocation (esrom, tilsit and tofu).
Journal ArticleDOI
The zebrafish epiboly mutants
D. A. Kane,M. Hammerschmidt,Mary C. Mullins,Hans-Martin Maischein,Michael Brand,F. J. M. Van Eeden,Makoto Furutani-Seiki,Michael Granato,P. Haffter,Carl-Philipp Heisenberg,Y.-J. Jiang,Robert N. Kelsh,J. Odenthal,Rachel M. Warga,Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard +14 more
TL;DR: The phenotypes of these mutants demonstrate that, for the spreading of cells during epiboly, the movement of the deep cells of the blastoderm require the function of genes that are not necessary for the move of the enveloping layer or the yolk cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural degeneration mutants in the zebrafish, Danio rerio
Makoto Furutani-Seiki,Y.-J. Jiang,Michael Brand,Carl-Philipp Heisenberg,Corinne Houart,D. Beuchle,F. J. M. Van Eeden,Michael Granato,P. Haffter,M. Hammerschmidt,D. A. Kane,Robert N. Kelsh,M. S. Mullins,J. Odenthal,Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard +14 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that focal cell death may be a useful clue for the detection of early patterning defects of the vertebrate nervous system in regions devoid of visible landmarks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations affecting pigmentation and shape of the adult zebrafish
P. Haffter,J. Odenthal,Mary C. Mullins,Shuo Lin,Michael Farrell,Elisabeth Vogelsang,Fabian B. Haas,Michael Brand,Fredericus J.M. van Eeden,Makoto Furutani-Seiki,Michael Granato,M. Hammerschmidt,Carl-Philipp Heisenberg,Y.-J. Jiang,D. A. Kane,Robert N. Kelsh,Nancy Hopkins,Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard +17 more
TL;DR: The adult pigment pattern was found to be changed by dominant mutations in wanda, asterix, obelix, leopard, salz and pfeffer as discussed by the authors, which caused a dominant reduction of the overall body length in the adult.

TL;DR: In a large scale screen for mutations affecting early development of the zebrafish, a number of mutations that are homozygous viable or semiviable are identified that are potentially useful for using tyrosinase as a marker for the generation of transgenic lines of zebra fish.
