Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

Zebrafish eggs contain a sunscreen called gadusol that protects the growing embryo from harmful rays. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are damaging. To shield against this, vertebrates produce a ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...
