Microscopic Image of Zebrafish Larvae

Caption

The distribution of the pigment cells (black) can be seen easily in the animals, which are only the size of an eyelash. If the function of the PSENEN gene (right) was disrupted, these collected in unusual places to form clearly visible patches -- similar to people with Dowling-Degos disease.
