Abstract
The zebrafish has become an important model for studying early vertebrate development. This is largely because of the pioneering work of George Streisinger and the later work of his colleagues in establishing much of the methodology in rearing and studying the animal. The large number of progeny and the ease of performing genetic crosses have also allowed large-scale screens for mutations in genes affecting early development. The development of the genetic linkage map means that the genes identified by these mutation screens can now be cloned.
