Zebrafish resources

This resource page gives one-stop access to the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute's research and DNA, genetic and biological resources for zebrafish researchers.

The Sanger Institute plays a lead role in sequencing the zebrafish (Danio rerio) genome, mapping variants, generating mutants and characterising them. These resources are all readily available from these pages. Sanger Institute researchers model human disease in zebrafish and use it to interrogate cell signalling networks.

Access by resource type

Sequencing

  • Zebrafish clones and maps - For the clone based mapping and finishing, clones from different libraries were fingerprinted.
  • Zebrafish sequencing project - The genome sequencing project from which data, assemblies and annotation are released frequently.
  • Ensembl zebrafish - Access to the annotated zebrafish genome from the latest Ensembl assembly.
  • Vega zebrafish - Browse manually annotated zebrafish genome sequences from which data, assemblies and annotation are released frequently.
  • Zebrafish mutation resource - An open resource that seeks to identify, phenotype and distribute a large number of zebrafish mutants.
  • ZF-Models - Zebrafish as a model for human disease and development: data on mutations, microarrays and gene expression are mapped onto the genome.
  • Chomoview - Access the latest genome mapping data: search for clones with their accession or name, browse the paths and download the sequences.

Legacy resources

  • Fingerprint contig map - Mapping information that we continue to hold, but has been superseded by chromoview.
