The paper investigates stochastic developmental eye defects in zebrafish yap1 mutants, showing genetic and mechanical factors influence penetrance of retinal coloboma.

This study shows that Foxd1 is required for temporal retinal character, which is essential for the development of the high acuity area and visual function in zebrafish.

This study identifies a single amino acid change in the egf-cfc gene as critical for the evolution of left-right asymmetry in bilaterians.

This study identifies Cachd1 as a novel Wnt receptor-interacting protein essential for left-right neuronal asymmetry in zebrafish.

This study shows that zebrafish RPE cells stretch to match retinal curvature during optic cup formation, with proliferation and cytoskeletal interference affecting this process.

This study shows that the GINS complex is essential for DNA replication in rapidly dividing retinal and tectal progenitor cells in zebrafish, leading to apoptosis in these cells when GINS function is absent.

The paper shows that Tcf7l1a is essential for eye field specification in zebrafish but not for eye development, as mutants develop normal eyes through compensatory mechanisms.
