Aquarium fishes, like medaka, zebrafish and goldfish offer an excellent model to conduct studies on molecular mechanisms of embryonic developmental pathways, patterns of genes involved in pluripotency and cell fate decision. To determine the possible candidate gene as an ideal pluripotency marker in goldfish, the comparative study on quantitative expression of a set of genes were conducted in the mid-blastula derived inner cell mass (ICM) and adult somatic cells. | Expression study of pluripotency marker genes in gold fish Carassius auratrus
