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 ...

Species: Zebrafish, Danio rerio Genome size: ~1.41 billion base pairs The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely used genetic, developmental, and disease model organism because of the near-effortlessness ...

Filter failure Longo and his colleagues decided to investigate genome-database contamination after discovering human sequences in a project on the genome of the zebrafish (Danio rerio).

The major regulatory element (MRE) of the Danio rerio major globin gene locus and α-globin gene domains of warm-blooded vertebrates is designated with red hexagon.

More than a decade later, with its genome finally unveiled today, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become the go-to animal for researchers studying many human diseases — as well as those ...

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules whose role in gene regulation and association with certain diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colorectal cancer, has ...

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 ...

Because the zebrafish and giant danio are closely related and the zebrafish's genome has already been mapped, scientists hope they can more easily identify the genetic keys to the difference in ...

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

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 ...

Our series, Animals in Research, profiles the top organisms used for science experimentation. Here, we look at Danio rerio - the zebrafish. Zebrafish are probably not the first creatures that come ...
