Zebrafish Anatomy

A soft dorsal fin with between 30 and 32 branched rays. The embryo is transparent thereby enabling visualization and use of labelling and transgenic approaches.

Zebrafish Anatomy Poster

In our lab we use the zebrafish for cancer research and it is the basis for this histological atlas.

Zebrafish anatomy. The atlas spans the life of the zebrafish from embryo to adult and contains sections. Browse in 3d all the images in the database. Vascular anatomy web site weinstein laboratory nih.

Thin section in araldite were stained with methylene blue. The zebrafish has become an important animal model for understanding human development disease and toxicology. About zfap the zebrafish anatomy portal allows users to.

Search for annotated images illustrating structures of interest. The 72 hr embryo dorsal view click on a number to follow the appropriate link lateral view back to atlas of zebrafish anatomy. Anatomy of the 24 48 72 and 120 hours zebrafish danio rerio embryo.

Zebrafish danio rerio have become an increasingly popular genetic model over the past twenty years. Fishnet is a three dimensional database of zebrafish development from the early embryo to adult. 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.

Zebrafish are widely considered an excellent model system for vertebrate development. Models of zebrafish development may be virtually sectioned viewed as 3d renderings or downloaded. A lifespan atlas of the zebrafish.

A striped anal fin with between 10 and 12 branched rays. The identification of thousands of early developmental zebrafish mutants has established the zebrafish as a mainstream model in developmental biology lieschke and currie 2007. Images were taken and digitized.

The zebrafish has been shown to be an excellent vertebrate model for studying the roles of specific genes and signaling pathways. Some of the other anatomical features of zebrafish include. The zebrafish anatomy portal zfap is an anatomical resource for the zebrafish danio rerio containing 3d models of zebrafish covering the range of development from 24hrs until adulthood.

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. 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.
