Strain maps characterize the symmetry of convergence and extension patterns during zebrafish gastrulation

Abstract During gastrulation of the zebrafish embryo, the cap of blastoderm cells organizes into the axial body plan of the embryo with left–right symmetry and head–tail, dorsal–ventral polarities. Our labs have been interested in the mechanics of early development and have investigated whether thes...
