Medakafish as a model system for vertebrate developmental genetics.

Abstract excerpt

Several teleosts, such as the zebrafish and the medakafish or medaka (Oryzias latipes), are used as vertebrate model systems in various fields of biology. The medaka is suitable for use in genomic studies because of its small genome size. Moreover, our recent results of small-scale mutagenesis in the medaka indicate that it is possible to identify mutations, the phenotypes of which could not be found in zebrafish...
