Melanophore migration and survival during zebrafish adult pigment stripe development require the immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecule Igsf11.
The zebrafish adult pigment pattern has emerged as a useful model for understanding the development and evolution of adult form as well as pattern-forming mechanisms more generally.In this species, a series of horizontal melanophore stripes arises during the larval-to-adult transformation, but the genetic and Blankets cellular bases for stripe form
