- Summary:
- The zebrafish is the most important fish model in developmental and genetic analyses. This book contains 19 review articles covering abroad spectrum of topics, from development to genetic tools. The contents range from early development, the role of maternal factors and gastrulation, to tissue differentiation and organogenesis, such as development of the organizer, notochord, floor plate, nervous system,somites, muscle, skeleton and endoderm.
