Direct visualization of replication dynamics in early zebrafish embryos.
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
May 2016
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on DNA replication in early zebrafish embryos.
- Researchers used a specific marker, EdU, to label replicating DNA and visualized replication sites in individual cells derived from the embryos.
- Findings revealed new, previously unknown patterns of DNA replication dynamics during the early stages of zebrafish development.
Article Synopsis
- * Findings show that zebrafish DNA replication follows a similar pattern to mammals, with the interior DNA replicating before the DNA at the periphery, but takes longer in zebrafish.
- * This research is the first to quantify replication dynamics in zebrafish, revealing replication rates and distances that are comparable to those observed in mammalian cells.
