Journal ArticleDOI

cdx4 mutants fail to specify blood progenitors and can be rescued by multiple hox genes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that caudal-related gene cdx4 regulates hox genes and is necessary for the specification of haematopoietic cell fate during vertebrate embryogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light Regulates the Cell Cycle in Zebrafish

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that light plays a key role in cell cycle regulation in the zebrafish, and the cell-autonomous circadian clock is implicate in the regulation of the vertebrate cell cycle by light.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autonomous onset of the circadian clock in the zebrafish embryo

TL;DR: A default mechanism in the embryo is demonstrated that initiates the autonomous onset of the circadian clock and Transient expression of dominant‐negative ΔCLOCK blocks period1 transcription, thus showing that endogenous CLOCK is essential for the transcriptional regulation of period1 in the embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI

The maternal-effect gene futile cycle is essential for pronuclear congression and mitotic spindle assembly in the zebrafish zygote.

TL;DR: It is proposed that in mitotic spindle assembly chromosome-dependent microtubule nucleation is essential for the coupling of nuclear and cell division.
