Fig. 3

New kit alleles separate kit′s developmental roles in melanocyte migration and survival. Melanocytes in kit^j1e60 mutants largely fail to migrate to peripheral locations through 2.5 dpf (A), yet persist through 12 dpf (B) along the dorsal aspect of the neural tube (black arrowheads). In contrast, melanocytes in kit^j1e78 mutants at 2.5 dpf (C) successfully migrate to peripheral locations (black arrowheads), but subsequently disappear from the animal by 12 dpf (D). Scale bars: 1 mm (A, C); 1 mm (B, D).
