A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

Scientists have pinpointed a stage in zebrafish embryo development where cells can better withstand disruptions to chromosome alignment during division. Using a light-activated tool to inhibit the ...

It happens in the first hours after fertilization: The cells of the early embryo begin to independently produce proteins, the building blocks for cells and organs. Their own, uniquely composed genetic ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

Researchers use a light-activated protein to illuminate when embryos can cope with disruptions to cell division.Cell division ...

Computer software can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Mapping the roles of single genes in these networks is key to ...

An international study has identified a gene that plays an important role in the development of the human embryo. If it is altered, malformations of various organ systems can result. The gene emerged ...
