Description:
Watanabe and Kondo question our conclusion that the current Turing-type model of color patterning in zebrafish requires modification. In addition to xanthophores and melanophores, iridophores are essential for stripe formation in the body, although not in the fins. A model of predictive value should accommodate the in vivo dynamics and interactions of all three chromatophore types in body stripe formation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Singh, Ajeet Pratap -- Frohnhofer, Hans-Georg -- Irion, Uwe -- Nusslein-Volhard, Christiane -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Apr 17;348(6232):297. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa2804.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Max-Planck-Institut fur Entwicklungsbiologie, Tubingen, Germany ajeet.singh@tuebingen.mpg.de christiane.nuesslein-volhard@tuebingen.mpg.de. ; Max-Planck-Institut fur Entwicklungsbiologie, Tubingen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25883351" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
