Biotecnologia Aplicada 1996 Volume 3 No. 1 Efficiency of gene transfer and promoter specificity assayed by transient gene expression in zebrafish Alestrom P., Husebye H. and Collas P. Code Number:BA96017 Size of Files: Text: 3.8K No associated graphics files Introduction The increasing importance of aquaculture in future food production potentiates the need for developing an increased knowledge in the molecular biology of aquatic organisms. Fish transgenesis represents both a tool for basic research and a possibility for improving stocks of production animals. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely used laboratory model for such research. Copyright 1996 Elfos Scientia
