This volume of "Methods in Cell Biology, " the second of two parts on the subject of zebrafish, provides a comprehensive compendium of laboratory protocols and reviews covering all the new methods developed since 1999.
* Details state-of-the art zebrafish protocols, delineating critical steps in the procedures as well as potential pitfalls
* Illustrates many techiques in full-color
* Summarizes the Zebrafish Genome Project

Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is the prime model for genetic and developmental studies, as well as research in genomics. While genetically distant from humans, nonetheless the vertebrate zebrafish has comparable organs and tissues that make it the model organism for study of vertebrate development. This book, one of twonew volumes in the "Reliable Lab Solutions "series dealing with zebrafish, brings together a robust and up-to-date collection of time-tested methods presented by the world s leading scientists. Culled from previously published chapters in "Methods in Cell Biology"and updated by the original authorswhere relevant, it providesa comprehensive collection of protocols describing the mostwidely usedtechniques relevant to the study of the cellular and developmental biology of zebrafish. The methodsin thisvolume were hand-selected by the editors, whose goal was to a provide ahandy and cost-effectivecollection offail-safe methods, tips, and tricks of the trade to both experienced researchers and more junior members in the lab.

* Provides busy researchers a quick reference for time-tested methods and protocols that really work, updated where possible by the original authors *Gives pragmatic wisdom to the non-specialist from experts in the field with years of experience with trial and error "

The Zebrafish: Genetics, Genomics, and Transcriptomics, Fourth Edition, is the latest volume in the Methods in Cell Biology series that looks at methods for the analysis of genetics, genomics, and transcriptomics of Zebrafish. Chapters cover such topics as gene-trap mutagenesis, genetic Screens for mutations, gene editing in zebrafish, homologous gene targeting, genome-wide RNA tomography, and developmental epigenetics and the zebrafish interactome.

The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology, Part B Developmental Biology, the second volume on the topic in the Methods in Cell Biology series, looks at methods for analyzing cellular and developmental biology of zebrafish. Chapters cover such topics as cell biology and developmental and neural biology.

The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology, Part A Cellular Biology, is the latest edition in the Methods in Cell Biology series that looks at methods for analyzing cellular and developmental biology of zebrafish.
