Spectrally differentiated caged morpholino oligonucleotides (cMOs) and wavelength‐selective illumination have been used to sequentially inactivate organismal gene function. The efficacy of these reverse‐genetic chemical probes has been demonstrated in zebrafish embryos, and these reagents have been employed to examine the mechanisms of mesoderm patterning.
