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: ...
Zebrafish are a great research model. They develop quickly and in their early stages, they remain transparent. The little fish are easy and inexpensive to raise and can reproduce more frequently and ...
Most of the experiments in the current paper in PNAS (Bräutigam et al., Nov. 2013) were conducted in zebrafish that were genetically modified, so that the circulatory system glowed in a green ...
Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...
When scientists attempt to transfer genetic material into an organism, they often use an electric field, a technique called "electroporation," that makes cell walls more permeable. This sophisticated ...
Sean Burgess (right) and Bruce Draper, professors in the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences, are using zebrafish to detect chemicals that may cause reproductive harm. The GloNad fish glow red or ...
The ability of some animals to dynamically change color to match the brightness of their surroundings is one of nature's great survival tools, allowing flatfish to blend into sandy seabeds, frogs to ...
This shows in vivo-imaging of the blood circulation system in a three-day-old zebrafish larva. The left picture shows a side view of the head, the middle picture a side view of the trunk and the right ...
