Transgenic zebrafish, or zebra danio (Danio rerio), have been bioengineered into a patented and trademarked brand of genetically modified (GM) fluorescent fish and marketed as “GloFish”. (Credit: ...

Despite tremendous advances in understanding embryogenesis, we still know remarkably little about why organisms look the way they do. How are gene activities orchestrated into the particular shape of ...

Physicists are also interested in fish -- above all when they are researching the formation of structures. A research team has examined the schooling behavior of zebra danio (Danio rerio, also known ...

In addition to proving the peptide's safety when used as an anti-inflammatory agent, the results reinforce the importance of D. rerio as an alternative animal model for drug development that saves ...

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an essential model organism in biomedical research, favored due to its genetic similarity to humans and cost-effective maintenance. With approximately 75% of its genome ...

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been maintained at the University of Sheffield since 1997. Today, the Biological Services Aquarium (BSA) has the capacity to hold over 112,000 fish, in over 4000 tanks and ...
