High throughput screening in zebrafish behavioral research
Posted on 03 November 2011
Zebrafish are increasingly swimming into the view of large-scale drug screening projects. Behavioral screens can be used as a first-line detection tool for new drug effects, and their popularity continues to grow. Translating results to what we might see in humans requires an appropriate (vertebrate) model suited for large-scale studies. This is a tall order, but [...] Continue Reading

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Scientific Classification
Posted on 06 October 2010
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) belongs to: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Acrinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cyprinidae Genus: Danio Species: Danio rerio The following phylogenetic tree shows the relationship between Danio rerio and a portion of other Danio and Devario species. The phylogenetic relationships depicted above were inferred maximum likelihood analyses of 12S and 16S mtDNA. Numbers above branches are support values from Bayesian analysis [...] Continue Reading

JoVE Zebrafish protocol alert: Zebrafish Brain Ventricle Injection
Posted on 27 August 2010
Since I have last posted, there are some new video articles on JoVE involving zebrafish research. A team at MIT published a video protocol showing how to do injections in the zebrafish brain ventricle. This can aid in the study of ventricle formation and morphology. When studying the effect of teratogens, it could also be [...] Continue Reading

Do You Need a Virtual Lab-Notebook?
Posted on 24 December 2009
When keeping research notes, I use a traditional lab notebook. But, more than once I have been tempted to take the time and work out my notes on a computer to keep better track of everything. The benefits of a traditional paper notebook are simple: Easy to carry around to any research environment (especially in fish [...] Continue Reading

The (Visually) Coolest Scientific Journal: JoVE
Posted on 30 November 2009
JoVE stands for “Journal of Visualized Experiments”, and basically that is exactly what it delivers. JoVE is a new concept that tries to marry scientific reporting with video. Think of a typical journal article describing a protocol or experiment, and now imagine you can actually see the researcher perform the experiments on video. This is [...] Continue Reading

Video: Zebrafish Development Timelapse
Posted on 25 July 2009
This is by no means a new video, but even after a couple of years on youtube, it is a great quick peak into zebrafish embryonic development. Even though zebrafish develop fast, which fueled their popularity with developmental biologists, the timelapse video shows a complete overview of development in less than a minute. [ad] Check out the [...] Continue Reading
