Fig 3
Larvae were not dechorionated and PTC124 treatment was started at 0 hours post fertilization (hpf). Analysis was performed at 72 hpf and the results are shown as the mean of 3 independent experiments, except for treatment with 2 μM PTC124, which is shown as the mean of 2 independent experiments. Larvae were scored as wildtype (E), mild reduction/deformity in ventral tail fin (D+ or D) or severe reduction/deformity in ventral tail fin (C). WT = wildtype, het = heterozygote, HZ = homozygote. Error bars show standard error of the mean. We tested for trend in the probability of tail fin defects across the increasing doses of 0 μM, 1.0 μM and 2.0 μM PTC124 treated, groups of homozygous larvae [
