In December 1996, a special issue of Development appeared that presented in 37 papers the results of two large screens for zebrafish mutants performed in Tübingen and Boston. The papers describe about...
Published 30 years ago, 'The identification of genes with unique and essential functions in the development of the zebrafish, Danio rerio' by the Nüsslein-Volhard Lab highlighted the arduous work that took place during 'The Big Screen'. In total, 1163 mutants were described. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪
