Developmental and comparative transcriptomic identification of iridophore contribution to white barring in clownfish [PDF]
AbstractActinopterygian fishes harbor at least eight distinct pigment cell types, leading to a fascinating diversity of colors. Among this diversity, the cellular origin of the white color appears to be linked to several pigment cell types such as iridophores or leucophores.

Evolution of Endothelin signaling and diversification of adult pigment pattern in Danio fishes. [PDF]
Fishes of the genus Danio exhibit diverse pigment patterns that serve as useful models for understanding the genes and cell behaviors underlying the evolution of adult form. Among these species, zebrafish D.

Anterior-posterior gene expression differences in three Lake Malawi cichlid fishes with variation in body stripe orientation [PDF]
Morphological differentiation among closely related species provides opportunities to study mechanisms shaping natural phenotypic variation. Here, we address variation in the orientation of melanin-colored body stripes in three cichlid species of the ...

Tight Junction Protein 1a regulates pigment cell organisation during zebrafish colour patterning
Zebrafish display a prominent pattern of alternating dark and light stripes generated by the precise positioning of pigment cells in the skin. This arrangement is the result of coordinated cell movements, cell shape changes, and the organisation of ...
