Fig. 6 Targeted gene knockdown of cx43 restores joint formation in alfdty86 fins. (A) Segment length in alfdty86 fins following cx43 gene knockdown (alf KD) is similar to segment length following cx43 gene knockdown in wild-type fins (wt KD). Results of gene knockdown in both wild-type and alfdty86 are statistically different from wild-type fins treated with a non-targeting morpholino (p << 0.05). Wild-type and alfdty86 knockdown fins are not statistically different from one another. (B) Joints (arrows) are observed in each of three alfdty86 fin rays treated with cx43-MO2.
