Don’t miss out on the UK #zebrafish husbandry meeting at the University of Manchester on Wednesday 22nd October. Ticket sales end in two days (15th). More details in the LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/posts/zebraf...

New disease model in our favourite fish, for those interested! 🧪

ICYMI... We are back on Bluesky and LinkedIn with #scicomm posts about your favorite model organism. And look out for #sciart every Sunday as #ZebrafishZunday continues! #RockOn

Published October 25 years ago, “Effective targeted gene ‘knockdown’ in zebrafish” by Nasevicius & Ekker detail use of antisense morpholino-modified oligonucelotides or #morpholinos that inhibit translation. This landmark spurred a revolution in targeted gene knockdown in vivo. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

#ZebrafishFunFacts: Cited more than 1500 times, 'The behaviour and ecology of the zebrafish, Danio rerio' by Spence et al. (2007) highlights the special abilities of a small cyprinid found on the Indian subcontinent. A more recent take by Parichy (2015) expands on this in context of evolution. 1/2 🧪

I'm treading lightly with this one but the science communication bit of @zebrafishrock.bsky.social is back for the foreseeable future. I'll be sharing my plethora of fun facts (including some new ones) with the community. Enjoy!

#ZebrafishFunFacts: As the most-cited #zebrafish cancer research paper, Amsterdam et al screened hundreds of heterozygous lines for embryonic lethal mutations & found elevated cancer incidence in ribosomal genes. This previously underappreciated finding was published @plosbiology.org 21 years ago. 🧪

Not to get your hopes up but we are posting again… This time we are asking questions from our Slack group using @askzebrafish.bsky.social. Follow, interact, share or answer to your heart’s content and help the fabulous #zebrafish community. You rock! 🧪

Have you heard of the Zebrafish Rock! Slack Pro tankspace? Sponsored by ZFIN, it acts as the premier source for questions and queries for the #zebrafish community and beyond! If you are keen to join, please fill out this Google form at our website: linktr.ee/zebrafishrock

De-lurking to promote this neat piece of #zebrafish memorabilia from Rosie Lavis! Now available in its 3rd-edition, this linocut is sure to impress (especially with blue embellishments, if you fancy). Give as a gift or reserve one for yourself.

Published in @nature.com & cited over 5K times, Howe et al (2013) outlines the grueling efforts to sequence, assemble, & annotate the #zebrafish genome. In total, 26K protein-coding genes were found with more than 70% of them orthologous to human genes. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/natu... 🧪

Any leads would be appreciated 🙏

Still accepting late-breaking abstracts for #ZDM18, for those finterested! More details at the conference website: www.zdmsociety.org/zdm18-abstra...

Highlights new work from @mishaahrens.bsky.social et al. 🧠 🐟 🔗 to manuscript: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Highlights work from @miguelgf.bsky.social et al. 🐟

New work from Carney Lab at Nanyang Technological University 🇸🇬 🐟

“We suggest that zebrafish phototaxis is regulated via parallel processing streams, which could be a universal implementation to change strategies depending on developmental stage, context, or internal state, making behavior flexible and goal-oriented.” New work from @zwitscherarmin.bsky.social 🐟

A working zebrafish antibody, eh?
