Timeline of important technological developments in zebrafish research.

Timeline of important technological developments in zebrafish research.

With a published genome & advancements in gene editing, the field of #zebrafish genetics has exploded in recent decades. We take a look back at major achievements in this infographic.

eLife Latest: Publish in a format that fits Alongside Research Articles, eLife also publishes scientific discoveries in the form of Tools and Resources papers, Research Advances and Short Reports.

High impact, small size.

We welcome papers that address findings from a single set of experiments, or that are substantial enough to stand alone in 1,500 words or fewer.

Some #zebrafish news. After consulting with the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) we will annotate one of our Tรผbingen T2T assemblies as a reference genome. This is an excellent assembly that we can get into the hands of the zebrafish research community right now. We are continuing our efforts

It is with great joy that we are receiving @valetornini.bsky.social these weeks, who came to the land of her ancestors for scientific networking. Looking forward to her talk tomorrow at Facultad de Ciencias, Udelar. Will she dare to give her talk in Spanish? Yes, she will! @socneurouy.bsky.social

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D

Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added!
