Distinct positional identity at the center of the caudal fin establishes forked shape

Eric Surette, John Gablemann, Katherine Backus…·Sarah K. McMenamin

The paper shows that distinct positional identities in zebrafish caudal fin rays determine their morphology, and altering these identities can change the fin shape.

Adult caudal fin shape is imprinted in the embryonic fin fold

Eric Surette, Joan C. Donahue, Crisvely Soto Martinez…·Sarah K. McMenamin

The paper shows that transient shha overexpression during zebrafish embryogenesis alters adult caudal fin shape, demonstrating that developmental cues can permanently modify positional memory of fin rays.
