Although they are primitive vertebrates, zebrafish (Danio rerio) and medaka (Oryzias latipes)
have surpassed other animals as the most used model organisms based on their many …

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 …

In response to the lack of a transgenic line of zebrafish labeled with heart‐specific
fluorescence in vivo to serve as a research model, we cloned a 1.6‐kb polymerase chain …

The widespread use of fish as model systems is still limited by the mosaic distribution of cells
transiently expressing transgenes leading to a low frequency of transgenic fish. Here we …

The first transgenic livestock species were reported in 1985. Since then microinjection of
foreign DNA into pronuclei of zygotes has been the method of choice. It is now being …

Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) is a freshwater (FW) teleost that is popular throughout
the world for laboratory use. In this paper, we discuss the utility of Japanese medaka and …

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) technology is rapidly advancing the study of
morphogenesis, by allowing researchers to specifically focus on a subset of labeled cells …

Small fish are a popular laboratory model for studying gene expression and function by
transgenesis. If, however, the transgenes are not readily detectable by visual inspection, a …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on highly efficient zebrafish transgenesis mediated
by the meganuclease I-SceI. Fish are excellent candidates for the production of transgenics …

Tissue regeneration has been in the spotlight of research for its fascinating nature and
potential applications in human diseases. The trait of regenerative capacity occurs diversely …
