Bony fish display a skeleton that develops mainly as cartilage, locally replaced by endochondral bone tissue. Cartilaginous fish, however, have a cartilaginous skeleton, locally mineralized in various ways, some of which are evolutionary innovations specific to this lineage (prismatic cartilage, for instance). The cells associated with these tissues are thus capable of biomineralization by precipitation of calcium phosphate, a property that seems to be limited to the vertebrate clade. In this thesis, I focus on the genetics of skeletal mineralization development in a cartilaginous fish: the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula). I describe in detail the putative genetic factors underlying the mineralization process, and I do so thr...
