The Zebrafish Information Network ( ZFIN ) is an online biological database of information about the zebrafish ( Danio rerio ). The zebrafish is a widely used model organism for genetic , genomic , and developmental studies, and ZFIN provides an integrated interface for querying and displaying the large volume of data generated by this research. To facilitate use of the zebrafish as a model of human biology, ZFIN links these data to corresponding information about other model organisms (e.g., mouse ) and to human disease databases. Abundant links to external sequence databases (e.g., GenBank ) and to genome browsers are included. Gene product, gene expression, and phenotype data are annotated with terms from biomedical ontologies . ZFIN is based at the University of Oregon in the United States, with funding provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
3-646: ZFIN consists of two principal parts: Information in ZFIN is tightly linked to the web resources of the Zebrafish International Resource Center ( ZIRC ), the China Zebrafish Resource Center ( CZRC ), and so on, which maintain and provide zebrafish-related research resources, materials and services. ZFIN's relational database interface provides query forms and display pages for the following biological data types: ZFIN also maintains
6-404: A database of zebrafish-related publications, laboratories, people, and companies. In addition to its specialized search interfaces, ZFIN provides a Google -like global site search. ZFIN's community wiki gives zebrafish researchers the ability to share information about laboratory protocols and antibodies.
