A zebrafish screen for craniofacial mutants identifies <it>wdr68 </it>as a highly conserved gene required for endothelin-1 expression

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Craniofacial birth defects result from defects in cranial neural crest (NC) patterning and morphogenesis. The vertebrate craniofacial skeleton is derived from cranial NC cells and the patterning of these cells occurs within the phary...
