Abstract
Regionalisation of the amphibian embryo is classically thought to involve induction by the Spemann organiser, itself induced by the Nieuwkoop centre. This model has now been extended to teleosts, with the identification of a gene that appears to define the zebrafish equivalent of the Nieuwkoop centre.
