Recently discovered ‘single-pixel vision’ in fish could help researchers understand how humans are able to spot tiny details in their environment — like stars in…
Whether a worm, a human, or a blue whale, all multicellular life begins as a single-celled egg. From this solitary cell emerges the galaxy of…
A research team headed by scientists of Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has published a new model in ‘Nature Communications’…
By studying miR-107 in zebrafish, Yale researchers have discovered that miR-107 plays a key role in early brain development, and perhaps in the development of…
A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research reveals how the eye of a zebrafish larva can already distinguish between prey and…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have discovered how pigment cells arise and interact to form the ‘zebra’ pattern in zebrafish. The zebrafish, a small…
In a newly published study, Yale University geneticists report that three factors — Nanog, Pou5f1 (or Oct4) and SoxB1 — are indeed needed to push…
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are a useful model for studying gene behavior and function. Researchers have been able to make custom changes in the zebrafish’s genome,…
