kctd15 mutants have more melanophores.

While there is no premature appearance of melanophores in our mutants (A,B), by 5 dpf there are visibly more on the dorsal side of the head (C,D), and by 19 dpf, there is a marked increase in melanophore pigment cells both on the dorsal and lateral sides of the larvae (E,F). This increase in pigmentation is still seen at 30 dpf (G,H). Examination of transcript levels and expression patterns in 25 hpf embryos revealed an up-regulation of the early melanophore markers tyrp1a (I-K) and zgc:91968 (L-N).
