The zebrafish belladonna (bel) mutation was identified in a large-scale mutagenesis screen to identify genes involved in retino-tectal pathfinding in Tubingen, Germany. In bel mutants, after exiting the eye, retinal axons grow ipsilaterally instead of crossing the midline to form optic chiasm. bel m...
