text: 'Neural crest development involves cell-fate specification, proliferation,
patterned cell migration, survival and differentiation, Zebrafish neural crest
derivatives include three distinct chromatophores, which are well-suited to genetic
analysis of their development, As part of a large-scale mutagenesis screen for
embryonic/early larval mutations, we have isolated 285 mutations affecting all
aspects of zebrafish larval pigmentation, By complementation analysis, we define
94 genes, We show here that comparison of their phenotypes permits classification
of these mutations according to the types of defects they cause, and these suggest
which process of neural crest development is probably affected, Mutations in eight
genes affect the number of chromatophores: these include strong candidates for
genes necessary for the processes of pigment cell specification and proliferation,
Mutations in five genes remove part of the wild-type pigment pattern, and suggest
a role in larval pigment pattern formation, Mutations in five genes show ectopic
chromatophores in distinct sites, and may have implications for chromatophore
patterning and proliferation, 76 genes affect pigment or morphology of one or
more chromatophore types: these mutations include strong candidates for genes
important in various aspects of chromatophore differentiation and survival, In
combination with the embryological advantages of zebrafish, these mutations should
permit cellular and molecular dissection of many aspects of neural crest development.'
