Fish coloration, evolved from selection and adaptation, is a prominent feature of remarkable
aquaculture merits. Fish possess more pigment cell types than any other vertebrates and are …

Genome sequencing has yielded a plethora of new genes the function of which can be
unravelled through comparative genomic approaches. Increasingly, developmental …

The Tol2 element of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes belongs to the hAT family of
transposons (hobo/Ac/Tam3). We report here identification of a functional transposase of …

Medaka: Biology, Management, and Experimental Protocols, written by experienced
researchers and reviewed by international leaders in the medaka field will provide details on …

For the emerging amphibian genetic model Xenopus tropicalis targeted gene disruption is
dependent on zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) or transcription activator-like effector nucleases …

In this study, we compared the genomic integration efficiencies and transposition site
preferences of Sleeping Beauty (SB or SB11), Tol2, and piggyBac (PB) transposon systems …

DNA transposons are defined segments of DNA that are able to move from one genomic
location to another. Movement is facilitated by one or more proteins, called the transposase …

This introductory review briefly describes the history of medaka as a research organism and
the previous accomplishments of the medaka field. The medaka genome project currently …

Mutations causing a visible phenotype in the adult serve as valuable visible genetic markers
in multicellular genetic model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis …

Mouse coat colour genes have long been studied as a paradigm for genetic interactions in
development. A number of these genes have been cloned and most correspond to human …
