Stereotypical patterns of vascular and neuronal networks suggest that specific genetic programs tightly control path determination and, consequently, angiogenesis and axon-guidance mechanisms. Our study focuses on one member of the roundabout family of receptors, which traditionally mediate repulsion from the midline. Here, we characterize a fourth member of this family, roundabout4 (robo4), which is the predominant roundabout (robo) that is expressed in embryonic zebrafish vasculature. Gene kno ...[more]
