Zebrafish Genome Project

The Sanger Insitute started the zebrafish genome sequencing project in 2001 and has generated several genome assemblies. After the release of Zv9, the zebrafish genome project joined the Genome Reference Consortium (GRC) for further improvement and ongoing maintenance. The GRC has now released a new reference assembly, GRCz10

It will take a while until the genome browsers like Ensembl update to GRCz10. In the meantime, Zv9 is being featured. You can view the regions that have been addressed by the GRC in Ensembl by attaching the 'GRC regions Zv9' DAS source. Simply click here.

    Opendoor Workshop at 8th European Zebrafish Meeting, Barcelona, 2013: Working with Zebrafish Genome Resources

    In association with the 8th European Zebrafish Meeting, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute are pleased to announce a one day "Working with Zebrafish Genome Resources" Workshop (The workshop will run from 10:00 - 18:00 on Tuesday 9th July). Each workshop is broken into modules designed to give a broad overview of a given topic with examples chosen by the trainers. The modular structure consists of a discussion of theory and methods, coverage of software and web resources, and a series of "hands on" worked examples. Time is provided in each session for participants to carry out their own research in the presence of the trainers, and participants are encouraged to bring their own problems (e.g sequence for analysis) with them. All materials used during the workshop series will be available on the Web, in the form of manuals and information. Zebrafish specific examples will be used wherever possible.

    Please visit our website for further details and on-line registration. Any queries should be sent to zebrafish-odw@sanger.ac.uk.
