The resulting database, The Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN) (https://zfin.org/), is the database of genetic and genomic data for the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism. ZFIN provides a wide array of expertly curated, organized and cross-referenced zebrafish genetic and genomic data, including genes, alleles, transgenic lines, gene expression, gene function, phenotypes, orthology, human disease models, nomenclature and reagents.
In 2016, ZFIN joined together with five other model organism databases (WormBase, FlyBase, Mouse Genome Database, Rat Genome Database, Saccharomyces Genome Database) and the Gene Ontology Consortium to form the Alliance of Genome Resources (The Alliance). The primary mission of the Alliance is to develop and maintain sustainable genome information resources that facilitate the use of diverse model organisms in understanding the genetic and genomic basis of human biology, health and disease. This understanding is fundamental for advancing genome biology research and for translating human genome data into clinical utility.
Goals:
The long term goals for ZFIN are a) to be the community database resource for the laboratory use of zebrafish, b) to develop and support integrated zebrafish genetic, genomic and developmental information, c) to maintain the definitive reference data sets of zebrafish research information, d) to link this information extensively to corresponding data in other model organism and human databases, e) to facilitate the use of zebrafish as a model for human biology and f) to serve the needs of the research community.
