This blog contains an electronic labbook edited by Sara Arganda, Alfonso Pérez-Escudero and Julián Vicente-Page, while working at de Polavieja Lab at the Cajal Institute (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain).
While most of the work described here is related to zebrafish, there is also a lot of work related to other species (especially theoretical work). The title is therefore not very informative, but we have grown fond of it.
As any labbook, it is not meant to be understandable by anybody outside the laboratory, we make it public for the sake of transparency. It is mainly written in English, but some parts are in Spanish.
The work described here resulted in several publications. Not all the work on these publications is reflected here, because not all authors contributed to this labbook. We note under each paper the categories of this blog that refer to it (note that some categories refer to more than one paper).
