Differential transcriptomes of developing zebrafish embryos from commencement to completion of gastrulation

We report differential transcriptomes of zebrafish embryos at 6 and 10 hours post fertilization. Specifically, we note a dramatic shift in the expression of genes involved in cellular metabolism from 6 to 10 hours post fertilization. This result may explain at least in part why metabolic demand of developing embryos at the examined stage is sharply increased.
