Zebrafish Anatomy

Moreover because of the ease of inducing new mutations in zebrafish and similarity with the human genome this organism may be used effectively for disease studies. The embryo is transparent thereby enabling visualization and use of labelling and transgenic approaches.

The sequencing of its genome and the relative ease with which gene modifications can be performed have led to the creation of numerous human disease models that can be used for testing the potential and the toxicity of new pharmaceutical compounds. A lifespan atlas of the zebrafish. Zebrafish are widely considered an excellent model system for vertebrate development.

This collection of sections through zebrafish embryos at four different stages of development is thought to provide some help to understand how the zebrafish embryo looks inside. Zebrafish danio rerio have become an increasingly popular genetic model over the past twenty years.

In our lab we use the zebrafish for cancer research and it is the basis for this histological atlas. The identification of thousands of early developmental zebrafish mutants has established the zebrafish as a mainstream model in developmental biology lieschke and currie 2007.
