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:
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.
