Zebrafish Core

The Zebrafish Core helps researchers of any expertise perform zebrafish experiments aimed at illuminating basic biology and human disease mechanisms, thereby advancing the NIH and NICHD research mission. A typical research question might investigate the function or regulation of a zebrafish gene and/or its ortholog from humans or another species. We also are happy to offer consultation for any other zebrafish-related projects you may be considering.

Research methodologies include the following: gene expression studies, gain or loss of gene function studies, cryopreservation of zebrafish lines, importation of new lines, and characterization of phenotypes by time-lapse photography.
