Zebrafish: An integrative system for neurogenomics and neurosciences

▶ The zebrafish uses a similar repertoire of genes to mammals to build a nervous system. ▶ Over half of the 24,000 zebrafish genes have been analyzed by expression pattern. ▶ Zebrafish are highly amenable to large-scale genetic manipulation. ▶ Zebrafish embryos and larvae are now used for automated high throughput drug screens.
