"Prepared under the auspices of the American Society for Cell Biology."

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Overview of the Zebrafish System -- Cell Cycles and Development in the Embryonic Zebrafish -- Zebrafish Embryonal Cell Culture -- Primary Fibroblast Cell Culture -- Production of Haploid and Diploid Androgenetic Zebrafish (Including Methodology for Delayed in Vitro Fertilization) --Analysis of Protein and Gene Expression -- Strategies to Perturb Zebrafish Development -- Vectors and Techniques for Ectopic Gene Expression in Zebrafish -- Analysis of Zebrafish Development Using Explant Culture Assays -- Embryonic Axis Formation in the Zebrafish -- Confocal Microscopic Analysis of Morphogenetic Movements -- Cytoskeletal Dynamics of the Zebrafish Embryo -- Kinesin-like Microtubule Motors in Early Development -- Techniques in Neural Development -- Development of the Retina -- Growth Control in the Ontogenetic and Regenerating Zebrafish Fin -- Vascular and Blood Gene Expression -- Analysis of Hemostasis in the Zebrafish -- Cell Lineage Tracing in Heart Development -- Neurogenesis in Zebrafish Embryos.

This is the first in a two-volume, comprehensive treatment of the methodologies used in researching the Zebrafish, an emerging vertebrate model system. The text includes discussions on development, genetic methodologies, and model applications.
