The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful model organism for the study of vertebrate biology,
being well suited to both developmental and genetic analysis. Large-scale genetic screens …

Defects in iron absorption and utilization lead to iron deficiency and overload disorders.
Adult mammals absorb iron through the duodenum, whereas embryos obtain iron through …

Sex determination can be robustly genetic, strongly environmental, or genetic subject to
environmental perturbation. The genetic basis of sex determination is unknown for zebrafish …

Rationale This review provides insight for the judicious selection of nicotine dose ranges
and routes of administration for in vivo studies. The literature is replete with reports in which …

The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and
facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t-restrial livestock …

Microsatellites represent codominant molecular genetic markers, which are ubiquitously
distributed within genomes. Due to their high level of polymorphism, relatively small size and …

Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), have been the most widely applied
class of molecular markers used in genetic studies, with applications in many fields of …

Over the past decade, the zebrafish has become an important model organism for biological
research. In recent years, more than 1800 zebrafish mutants have been identified, providing …

Of the nonprimate mammalian species with develo** comparative gene maps, the feline
