From: Ascl1b and Neurod1, instead of Neurog3, control pancreatic endocrine cell fate in zebrafish
ascl1b and neurod1 are expressed during early pancreas development. (A) Phylogenetic tree calculated with full-length amino acid sequences from vertebrate members of the ARP/ASCL family. The pancreatic expression of zebrafish ARP/ASCL was tested by WISH and the expression levels are depicted by (+++) highly, (++) moderately, (+) weakly, (-/+) very weakly and (-) not expressed in the pancreas. (B-C) WISH showing expression of neurod1 (B) and ascl1b (C) in the pancreatic region at the indicated stages. All views are ventral with anterior part to the left. Scale bars : 50 µm WISH, whole-mount in situ hybridization.
