The ZF-MODELS Project at Sanger
ZF-MODELS - http://zf-models.org/
The Zebrafish Models for Human Development and Disease (ZF-MODELS) project is an Integrated Project funded by the European Commission as part of its 6th Framework Programme. It will produce knowledge and technology in the form of disease models, drug targets and insight into pathways of gene regulation applicable to human development and disease. It will achieve these aims by combining the advantages of the zebrafish in developmental biology with recent advances in functional genomics and with the zebrafish genome sequence to harvest large data sets on gene functions. Details about the work packages involved can be found here.
The Zebrafish group at the Sanger Institute is taking part in this project and is responsible for mapping the generated data to the zebrafish genome assembly and to make the data accessible and searchable to the users.
The data provided generated within the different work packages have been mapped to the zebrafish genome assembly Zv7 and are visible as DAS tracks within Ensembl or as part of the Ensembl core features
