Zebrafish as an Experimental Organism

Corinne Houart

Abstract

Abstract The zebrafish became, in the last decade, a model organism of choice to study vertebrate development. Outstanding studies in cell biology coupled with an increasing wealth in mutants and genomic tools led to an explosion of contributions from the zebrafish research community in understanding formation of the brain, heart and main organs.
