Stages of embryonic development of the zebrafish

Charles B. Kimmel, William W. Ballard, Seth R. Kimmel et al. · 1 Jul 1995

We describe a series of stages for development of the embryo of the zebrafish, Danio (Brachydanio) rerio. We define seven broad periods of embryogenesis--the zygote, cleavage, blastula, gastrula, segmentation, pharyngula, and hatching periods. These divisions highlight the changing spectrum of major developmental processes that occur during the first 3 days after fertilization, and we review…

The Tol2kit: A multisite gateway‐based construction kit for <i>Tol2</i> transposon transgenesis constructs

Kristen M. Kwan, E. Fujimoto, Clemens Grabher et al. · 15 Oct 2007

Transgenesis is an important tool for assessing gene function. In zebrafish, transgenesis has suffered from three problems: the labor of building complex expression constructs using conventional subcloning; low transgenesis efficiency, leading to mosaicism in transient transgenics and infrequent germline incorporation; and difficulty in identifying germline integrations unless using a fluorescent marker transgene. The Tol2kit system…

Form and function: The laminin family of heterotrimers

Holly Colognato, Peter D. Yurchenco · 24 May 2000

The laminins are a family of glycoproteins that provide an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue. Each laminin is a heterotrimer assembled from alpha, beta, and gamma chain subunits, secreted and incorporated into cell-associated extracellular matrices. The laminins can self-assemble, bind to other matrix macromolecules, and have…

Normal table of postembryonic zebrafish development: Staging by externally visible anatomy of the living fish

David M. Parichy, Michael R. Elizondo, Margaret G. Mills et al. · 4 Nov 2009

The zebrafish is a premier model organism yet lacks a system for assigning postembryonic fish to developmental stages. To provide such a staging series, we describe postembryonic changes in several traits that are visible under brightfield illumination or through vital staining and epiflourescent illumination. These include the swim bladder, median and pelvic fins, pigment pattern,…

Developmental Dynamics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Developmental Dynamics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Developmental Dynamics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Developmental Dynamics use?
Developmental Dynamics uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Developmental Dynamics 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Developmental Dynamics?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Developmental Dynamics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Developmental Dynamics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Developmental Dynamics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Developmental Dynamics?
Developmental Dynamics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Developmental Dynamics template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Developmental Dynamics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Developmental Dynamics template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Developmental Dynamics template cost?
You can start writing in the Developmental Dynamics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Developmental Dynamics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
