This is the second volume of 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. Key Features * Details state-of-the-art zebrafish protocols in a single-source reference * Presents methods and reagents in user-friendly format * Delineates critical steps and pitfalls of he procedures * Illustrates techniques with full-color plates * Summarizes many new and interesting developmental mutants * Includes appendices with strain information and a compendium of zebrafish World Wide Web sites * Relevant to clinicians interested in vertebrate models of human congenital diseases
