Development of a transgenic strategy for facilitated modifier mutation screening in Zebrafish / Esther Maria Camp.

"April 2003"Bibliography: p. 40-41.42 p. : ill. (some col.), plates (col.) ; 30 cm.The aim of this study was to develop a transgenic strategy for a facilitated modifier mutation screening in zebrafish. This system represents a potentially powerful method that could be used to study the genetic interactions involved in developmental processes in a vertebrate animal. The overall aim of the project has been to create a transgenic strategy whereby a cloned developmental control gene can be abnormally but non-lethally expressed in the paired fins or melanin producing cells of transgenic zebrafish to cause a visible altered phenotype. --p. 41.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, School of Molecular and Biomedical Science, 200
