Abstract

Studies on genetic variation in model organisms, namely, zebrafish, can clarify rate and composition as well as distribution and organization of polymorphic loci in the genome and analysis reveal very high nucleotide diversity between zebrafish isolates. It is stated that the levels and organisation of genetic variation between and within commonly used zebrafish strains are markedly different from other laboratory model organisms.
