Abstract
Wholemount in-situ hybridization in zebrafish is a powerful technique for visualizing spatiotemporal gene expression during development. Here we describe a technique to detect endogenous mRNA expression in zebrafish that can be adapted to use on embryos from the single-cell stage until 5 days postfertilization.
