Count your somites! To make a vertebra, it takes 120 minutes in mice, 90 minutes in chicks, 30 minutes in zebrafish, and ~4.5 hours in humans. #ZebrafishFunFacts

#ZebrafishFunFacts While casper zebrafish 👻 are transparent, they are not considered ‘albino’ as they have pigmented eyes. To make a true albino, you have to cross casper w/ the albino allele (slc45a2), which makes a ‘crystal’-clear mutant (learn more nature.com/articles/srep2…) 🧪

#ZebrafishFunFacts: GloFish #zebrafish are prized among hobbyists for vibrant colors. While genetically modified, U.S. FDA considers them low risk as they pose no threat to food supply. But there's growing concern after they were found in Brazilian streams: science.org/content/articl…

Due to their aquatic environment, #zebrafish are perfect for small molecule drug screens. Many drugs have been repurposed for novel treatments such as COX inhibitors in leukemia & glucocorticoids in long QT syndrome. For more, read ($): doi.org/10.1038/nrd4627 #ZebrafishFunFacts

“The fish is a frog... is a chicken... is a mouse." In the 1980s, Kimmel defined a crucial stage at the onset of gastrulation when the prospective organization of the entire embryonic body plan emerged. It placed #zebrafish in the context of vertebrate #devbio. #ZebrafishFunFacts
