Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

video: This image shows touch response of zebrafish embryos expressing BLINK1. Control embryo (GFP-injected), 2 day-old, was exposed to 1h of blue light and tested by mechanical stimulation with the ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this ...

Scientists have long observed that embryos of different species within a phylum look quite distinct at early and late ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

MIC-Drop allows researchers to rapidly evaluate the functions of hundreds of genes in a single experiment. Zebrafish—small, fast-growing creatures who share many of the same genes as humans—are ...
