Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Our limbs evolved from fish fins as vertebrates colonized aquatic shallows and land. If we understood the genetics underlying this transition, could we build a limb on a fish? In this issue of Developmental Cell, Freitas et al. (2012) show that boosting Hoxd13 expression can bring zebrafish one step closer to terra firma.
