This study shows that extensive disruption of HoxA/D genes in zebrafish does not cause visible defects in anterior vertebral patterning, suggesting HoxB/C genes play a more critical role.

This study shows that the size and position of the zebrafish swim bladder are physically constrained by surrounding bones during development.

This study investigates the role of HoxA- and HoxD-related clusters in zebrafish pectoral fin development by analyzing mutants with combined gene deletions and finds that their simultaneous deletion causes significant developmental defects.
