In an article published October 14 in the journal Genetics, scientists report that research in zebrafish has helped identify the cause of an unknown genetic disorder affecting a boy and two of his uncles. The findings demonstrate the growing importance of zebrafish as laboratory models of rare diseases. Such models allow geneticists to make sense of the deluge of candidate disease genes being uncovered by advances in sequencing technologies. Although rare diseases ...Sunday 19 October 2014
Zebrafish Can Help Provide Genetic Answers: Research
In an article published October 14 in the journal Genetics, scientists report that research in zebrafish has helped identify the cause of an unknown genetic disorder affecting a boy and two of his uncles. The findings demonstrate the growing importance of zebrafish as laboratory models of rare diseases.
