EvoDevo in Zebrafish: Bridging Evolution, Development, and Drug Discovery
Evolutionary Developmental Biology, also known as EvoDevo, explores how developmental processes shape evolutionary change. Zebrafish, with their unique genetic and developmental features, have become a cornerstone for EvoDevo research and a powerful tool for drug discovery and toxicity testing. This article introduces the science behind EvoDevo, the advantages of zebrafish as a model, and how […]
What are zebrafish?
As far as research is concerned, all of us are well aware of the use of Mus musculus (mice) or Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) as animal models in laboratories. But what about Danio rerio, also known as zebrafish? Over the past several years, the use of zebrafish as a model in several research areas has increased due to numerous […]
