The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become an increasingly popular model organism for the study of genetic mechanisms of vertebrate development and disease. Zebrafish are easy to maintain and breed in ...

Alexandria Volkening was funded by the Mathematical Biosciences Institute and the National Science Foundation for this study under grants DMS-1148284, DGE-0228243, and DMS-1440386. Stripes are common ...

Four fish are part of China's first in-orbit aquatic ecological research project. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Zebrafish ...

The zebra danio fish is also known as the zebrafish or striped danio. They are tropical, freshwater fish from Southern Asia. Scientists often use zebra danios for research, and they have become ...

We provide you with embryos for your research. Developmental stage of embryos can be timed and coordinated precisely, down to the minute. We can perform male gamete collection for cryopreservation or ...

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 ...

Researchers have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the first five days of development, a ...

This rare glimpse into the beating heart of a zebrafish offers a view of how blood flows into and out of its heart. Zebrafish have a heart and a circulatory system similar to that of humans, but with ...

Scientists from the City University of Hong Kong have found that nanoplastics can enter zebrafish via two pathways: waterborne exposure and dietary exposure. These tiny particles can cross biological ...

It took a decade’s worth of work—and probably a few sleepless nights—but for the first time, researchers have identified sleep patterns in the brains of tiny zebrafish, and those patterns look ...
