Using zebrafish mutants produced primarily by chemical mutagenesis, researchers have, in recent years, turned the popular aquarium pets, originally from India, into invaluable tools for understanding ...

Normal zebrafish, on the other hand, have no such articulation in their diminutive fin skeleton (middle). Scientists have now discovered mutant zebrafish that grow new bones away from the body in ...

The embryo of a wild type zebrafish above the embryo of banp mutant zebrafish, both four days post fertilization (dpf). The mutant embryo has smaller eyes compared to the wild type (shown with the ...

Researchers from Fudan University and Southwest University published data from a study that detailed the development of a novel vertebrate model suitable for high-throughput screening of potential ...

This story appears in the September 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine. For a creature that’s less than one and a half inches long, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) looms large in biomedical ...

As Bryson-Richardson and Ruparelia began studying MFM, they and colleagues developed a zebrafish mutant ...

More importantly, injecting mutant zebrafish with human-derived FGF8 significantly reduced NS features, hinting at a ...

Aiming at the elucidation of regulations operating in early vertebrate development, we undertook the first large-scale and systematic collection of Medaka mutants in this project. Medaka fish is the ...

Zebrafish are unassuming and undemanding. Almost every child knows that – at least any child that has kept fish in an aquarium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, these fish have been one of the ...

As a vertebrate, the zebrafish possesses many genes that perform the same or similar functions in mammals and therefore also in humans. Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in ...
