The genetics and evolution of eye color in domestic pigeons (Columba livia).
PLoS Genetics, 2021 The eye color of birds, generally referring to the color of the iris, results from both pigmentation and structural coloration. Avian iris colors exhibit striking interspecific and intraspecific variations that correspond to unique evolutionary and ...

Cells, 2021 Zebrafish has emerged as a powerful model in studies dealing with pigment development and pathobiology of pigment diseases. Due to its conserved pigment pattern with established genetic background, the zebrafish is used for screening of active compounds ...

Generation and characterization of Kctd15 mutations in zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 15 (Kctd15) was previously found to have a role in early neural crest (NC) patterning, specifically delimiting the region where NC markers are expressed via repression of transcription factor AP-2a and ...

eLife, 2015 Changes in gene activity are essential for evolutionary diversification. Yet, elucidating the cellular behaviors that underlie modifications to adult form remains a profound challenge. We use neural crest-derived adult pigmentation of zebrafish and pearl

PLoS ONE, 2021 Understanding how fate specification of distinct cell-types from multipotent progenitors occurs is a fundamental question in embryology. Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) generate extraordinarily diverse derivatives, including multiple neural, skeletogenic

White LED Light Exposure Inhibits the Development and Xanthophore Pigmentation of Zebrafish Embryo [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractCircadian rhythm in all living organisms is disturbed continuously by artificial light sources and artificial lighting has become a hazard for public health. Circadian rhythm of melatonin maintains high levels of melatonin during the night and low levels during the day.

eLife, 2017 Perilipin (PLIN) proteins constitute an ancient family important in lipid droplet (LD) formation and triglyceride metabolism. We identified an additional PLIN clade (plin6) that is unique to teleosts and can be traced to the two whole genome duplications

The Role of Microtubules in Pigment Translocation in Goldfish Xanthophores.
Archives of Histology and Cytology, 1993 In xanthophores, microtubules were observed to radiate out from the microtubule organization center which was also the center of a central pigment mass. A similar pattern of microtubules was identified in both cells with dispersed or aggregated pigments.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The East African adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes are renowned for their diversity in coloration. Yet, the developmental basis of pigment pattern formation remains largely unknown.
