This authors of this paper have used homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells to inactivate the mouse BMP4 gene; the resulting phenotype of mutant embryos is analyzed using molecular markers. The results suggest that BMP4 is a key component in different processes in early mouse development, beginning with gastrulation and mesoderm formation.

Talbot WS, Trevarrow B, Halpern ME, Melby AE, Farr G, Postlethwait JH, Jowett T, Kimmel CB, Kimelman D: The organizer-specific homeobox gene floating head is essential for notochord development in the zebrafish. Nature 1995, 378:150-157. This report presents the phenotypic analysis of the zebrafish floating head mutant and shows that floating head is the zebrafish homofogue of the homeobox gene Xnot, floating head mutants lack a differentiated notochord and muscle tissue occupies the midline of these animals instead - suggesting that floating head regulates notochord precursor cell fates.

Development 1995, 121:4257-4264. In this work, cell transplantation techniques are used to demonstrate that the floating head gene acts cell autonomously in the notochord. Molecular markers characteristic of axial mesoderm are expressed intially in mutant embryos, but expression does not persist, suggesting that floating head is required for maintaining development of the notochord-forming axial mesoderm.

A clever method is used to monitor neural activity on a millisecond timescale in live zebrafish larvae. Calcium green dextran was injected into the axial musculature or into the spinal cord to label populations of neurons. The dextran-conjugated calcium indicator permits the visualization of the neural activity of individual neurons.
