In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

which function in bright light and provide color vision. The cones themselves are further subdivided into different types based on the specific light wavelengths they detect. In zebrafish there ...

We are a group of Purdue faculty using zebrafish in our research. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling, drug discovery, immunology, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transgenic animals continue to play an essential role in many aspects of zebrafish research, including the development of disease models. The most widely used system for zebrafish transgenesis is the ...

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a small freshwater fish that is an extensively studied vertebrate model organism. It can be bred rapidly in large numbers, is amenable to genetics, and has a clear ...
