Scientists from Australia have successfully bioengineered genetically modified fruit flies and zebrafish capable of absorbing ...

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has proved to be as invaluable a lab animal as the laboratory rat. Now it has given researchers another interesting piece of information about evolution. Disclaimer ...

Since University of Queensland cell biologist Ben Hogan began studying zebrafish in 2001, their use in labs has soared, he says. One of the fish’s advantages is clear—literally. Because ...

Methylmercury is an extremely toxic compound, and unfortunately it's often present in the fish that we eat. Scientists are ...

When exposed to an increase in the water temperature of their habitat, zebrafish, three-spined stickleback and flounder adapt ...

The Zebrafish Genetic and Phenotyping Core provides expertise and equipment to support your experiments with zebrafish as an in vivo model. The Core can generate zebrafish with mutations in specific ...

Owing to a lack of basic information on the biology of zebrafish (Danio rerio), lab managers must often base decisions regarding the care and use of this species on anecdotal information.

Because zebrafish are small and translucent, researchers can image each animal's entire brain to better track the drug's effects. The Ahrens Lab had shown in earlier work that zebrafish exhibit a ...

Our zebrafish labs are heavily involved in education of students and engagement of public. For example, we actively recruit and involve undergraduate students in our research. We encourage students to ...
