Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

In multicellular organisms, effective cell-to-cell communication is crucial to enable orderly development from a single fertilized egg to a complex adult body. Cells communicate by sending each other ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

With weMERFISH, the MERFISHEYES atlas and the integration of live imaging, researchers now have a new tool at their disposal. It allows the joint analysis of gene activity, gene regulation and cell ...

Zebrafish eggs contain a sunscreen called gadusol that protects the growing embryo from harmful rays. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are damaging. To shield against this, vertebrates produce a ...

The heartbeat is synonymous with life. It's one of the first essential functions to begin during development and to end at death. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. "The ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...
