Zebrafish Development in the First 24 Hours

Description

Zebrafish development moves quickly through the first 24 hours after fertilization. The early embryo is transparent, which makes it easy to see tissue changes and cell movement under the microscope. Zebrafish are also useful in genetics because researchers can change gene expression and watch how it affects a vertebrate that...

Transcript

Zebrafish embryos have many characteristics that make them a favorite model among developmental biologists. Their rapid, external development and transparency make them uniquely suited to visualization. Additionally, embryos are amenable to both physical and genetic manipulations, allowing researchers to tease apart the signa...
