Comparative transcriptome analyses indicate molecular homology of zebrafish swimbladder and mammalian lung.
The fish swimbladder is a unique organ in vertebrate evolution and it functions for regulating buoyancy in most teleost species. It has long been postulated as a homolog of the tetrapod lung, but the molecular evidence is scarce. In order to understand the molecular function of swimbladder as well a...
