Annotated zebrafish development timelapse

[gabiotta]

Praise be to the little baby Jesus, that is a miracle!

[TheRationalizer]

I'd love to see it through to full development.

Epiboly is labeled wrong; it should be involution there. Where the blastodisc stretches over the yolk, that's epiboly.

[DreamscapeLegend]

@StaphAurex I don't think the epiboly label is wrong. I would call that epiboly. There is clearly some involution going on at the same time. However, to relabel the arrows as involution would be incorrect.

[Petrander]

@StaphAurex Oh, you know better than the professor? "Are you an embryologist?" (Now where did I hear that before? Hint: Adnan)

[sunderwoodbio]

This is really great, sometimes its hard to try to figure out what is happening in 3-D as you study a textbook, and then just watching it gives you almost nothing if you haven't a good grasp on what is already going on. This was most helpful- I thank thee sir!... could you do this with other embryonic model organisms praychance?

[Imbrickle]

More zebrafish! Less anti-theism! :P (Both are cool, but I need more zebrafish in my life right now.)

[bearcub87]

what exactly is the keel? is it the same as the zebrafish shield organizer?

[sunderwoodbio]

@bearcub87 the zebrafish keel is the groove that eventually forms the spine.

[visheshap]

at the epiboly part, did the gastrula just turn around while the ectoderm covered it?? , it looked like it did but im not sure....

[Stead3111]

That would go great with bacon.

[seylyn]

Thanks for posting this! Very helpful for reviewing for my dev. bio course!

[rabidfish9]

I will use this in my development lecture. The annotations should help my undergrads to remember some of what they've learned. Good Job

[Etchehomo]

Great for courses in development - especially with the annotations for those of us who use amniotic models. Thanks!

[DichotomousKeys]

that is wiked i wish it was like till its old or what ever!

[hui83]

nice!
