TABLE 2.

Effect of ectopic foxd3 expression on melanophore morphology. Data are the numbers of cells with indicated morphology and genotype.

	Wildtype or kit^w34/+	kit^w34/w34
Fragmented	0	7
Normal	13	11

Larvae were fixed at ~28hpf and antibody stained for Foxd3 (anti-Myc) and GFP. Fish were screened for the presence of foxd3 fragmented cells and GFP expression. Positive fish were imaged and the number of cells with the indicated morphologies were counted in the different genetic backgrounds. Distributions are significantly different (p=0.025, Fisher’s exact test).
