Investigating non-canonical vertebral development in the zebrafish model system

A segmented vertebral column is one of the major innovations vertebrates. In mice and chicks – amniotes – a subpopulation of the somites, the sclerotome, is sole source of vertebral tissue. It is unclear, however, how applicable this amniote-based ‘canonical’ mechanism is across the vertebrates. In...
