Figure Caption

Fig. 1 dak^-/- and pic^-/- larvae have similar cartilage morphogenesis phenotypes.

Skeletal preparations of wild-type (A–C), dak^-/- (D–F) and pic^-/- (G–I) at day 6 reveal the shape of the cartilaginous skeleton as well as chondrocyte morphology. Ventral views of the head show that the cartilage elements of dak^-/- and pic^-/- fish are shorter and thicker than wild-type (A,D,G). Dissected cartilage laid flat show a complete lack of chondrocyte flattening and intercalation in skeletal elements from dak^-/- and pic^-/- larvae (B,E,H ceratobranchial 1; C,F,I hyosymplectic). Arrowheads in B and C indicate regions that lack stacking in wild-type embryos. Alcian Blue staining at pH1.0 (HCl 0.1N) does not stain pic^-/- cartilage (G,H,I).
