The zebrafish has become an important model organism to study biologial processes in vivo. Among the topics discussed in this book are technical advances which allow the rapid testing of in vivo function of as yet uncharacterized genes in zebrafish in large numbers and at a great speed.
The zebrafish has become one of the most important model organisms to study biological processes within a living body. As a vertebrate that has many of the strengths of invertebrate model systems, it offers numerous advantages to researchers interested in many aspects of embryonic development, physiology and disease. This book not only provides a complete set of instructions that will allow researchers to establish the zebrafish in their laboratory. It also gives a broad overview of commonly used methods and a comprehensive collection of protocols describing the most powerful techniques.
