The dlx5a/dlx6a genes play essential roles in the early development of zebrafish median fin and pectoral structures.

The Dlx5 and Dlx6 genes encode homeodomain transcription factors essential for the proper development of limbs in mammalian species. However, the role of their teleost counterparts in fin development has received little attention. Here, we show that dlx5a is an early marker of apical ectodermal cell...
