Cre/lox-controlled spatio-temporal perturbation of FGF signaling in zebrafish

Background: Spatiotemporal perturbation of signaling pathways in vivo remains challenging and requires precise transgenic control of signaling effectors. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling guides multiple developmental processes, including body axis formation and cell fate patterning. In zebrafish, mutants and chemical perturbations affecting FGF signaling have uncovered key developmental processes; however, these approaches cause embryo‐wide perturbations, rendering assessment of cell‐autonomous vs. non‐autonomous requirements for FGF signaling in individual processes difficult.
