  At the 2nd Strategic Conference held in Asilomar, USA (Feb. 2007), zebrafish researchers pinpointed the following topics as being ideally suited for studies using zebrafish:
  • Disease models
  • Cancer research
  • Cardiovascular research
  • Regeneration and stem cells
  • Neurobiology
  • Pain, tolerance and dependence
  • Aging and degeneration
  • Pharmacology and Toxicology
  • Cell biology, Proteomics, Genomics, and Systems Biology
  • A result of its nearly completed genome sequence and well-established technologies for gene expression analysis and proteomics, the zebrafish promises to be unique in providing a comprehensive picture of gene regulatory networks in vertebrate health and disease. Priorities in this area will be genome-wide enhancer analyses to be combined with microarray and proteomics data, as well as gene knock-outs and production of fluorescent transgenes on a genome-wide scale.
