Genetic dissection of the formation of the forebrain in Medaka, Oryzias latipes
The forebrain, consisting of the telencephalon and diencephalon, is essential for processing sensory information. To genetically dissect formation of the forebrain in vertebrates, we carried out a systematic screen for mutations affecting morphogenesis of the forebrain in Medaka. Thirty-three mutations defining 25 genes affecting the morphological development of the forebrain were grouped into ...

متن کاملMutations affecting somite formation in the Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
The metameric structure of the vertebrate trunk is generated by repeated formation of somites from the unsegmented presomitic mesoderm (PSM). We report the initial characterization of nine different mutants affecting segmentation that were isolated in a large-scale mutagenesis screen in Medaka (Oryzias latipes). Four mutants were identified that show a complete or partial absence of somites or ...
متن کاملTwist functions in vertebral column formation in medaka, Oryzias latipes
Medaka twist, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, is expressed in the sclerotome during embryogenesis. We previously established a line of twist-EGFP transgenic medaka, whose EGFP expression is regulated by the twist promoter; therefore, we could observe the behavior of sclerotomal cells in vivo. In the transgenic medaka embryos, EGFP-positive sclerotomal cells migrated dorsal...
متن کاملDecreased apoptosis in the forebrain of adult male medaka (Oryzias latipes) after aqueous exposure to ethinylestradiol.
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), especially those that are estrogenic, are an issue of growing concern because they may ultimately adversely affect wildlife survival. 17-beta-Estradiol and its synthetic counterpart, 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol, two common EDCs, are associated with intersex conditions and impaired male reproductive behavior in fish. Male and female Japanese medaka (Oryzias l...
