Biology II: Mouse, Zebrafish, and Chick
Zebrafish in Biomedical Research
Description
Zebrafish, or Danio rerio, are small freshwater fish used in biomedical research. They are important model organisms because they share a high degree of genetic conservation with humans. They are also simple and inexpensive to maintain in the lab.
Zebrafish embryos are especially useful because g...

Transcript
Danio rerio, or zebrafish, are small fish that are making a big splash in biomedical research. Zebrafish lay hundreds of eggs that develop externally, allowing scientists to perform genetic manipulations and monitor early phenotypes in a complex organism. Since they share much of their genome with humans, zebrafish r...
