When the scientists prevented the genes from working in zebrafish, they failed to develop fingerlike projections called fin rays — the fishes» «hands.»

In a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE, MDI Biological Laboratory scientists Benjamin L. King, Ph.D., and Voot P. Yin, Ph.D., identified these common genetic regulators in three regenerative species: the zebrafish, a common aquarium fish originally from India; the axolotl, a salamander native to the lakes of Mexico; and the bichir, a ray - finned fish from Africa.

Because these genes have the same function in zebrafish, humans, and other tetrapods, it should help researchers further understand how our ancestors left the water and evolved limbs from fins.

In a report published on September 30 in Nature Genetics, Katsanis and his team used a small transparent fish, zebrafish, to literally watch what happened if they chemically blocked the production of three proteins that are required for primary cilia function during the period when a fish egg develops into a grown up, fully - finned fish.

The scientists found it shares a genetic mechanism with two other creatures that can regenerate tissue — the zebrafish and a ray - finned fish from Africa called the bichir.

The Washington researchers have discovered some of the genes that allow zebrafish to regrow their tail fins, which could one day help humans regrow damaged body parts.

If the fish's fin gets bit off by, say, another hungry fish, the zebrafish can grow a new tail in about a week, according to University of Washington researchers.
