Discipline tool
MouseAGE is opening a call for European researchers to establish their infrastructure needs in the area of ageing and age-related disorders at the preclinical stage with a view to coordinate efforts for applications for funding.
Species specific
The Sanger Institute started the zebrafish genome sequencing project in 2001 and has generated several genome assemblies of the Tuebingen strain. 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, GRCz11.
According to a new study in eLife, arthritis is much more widespread in the animal kingdom than previously suspected.
The recent development of skin swabbing techniques - which produce sufficient DNA for PCR amplification - potentially offers a refined procedure with enormous impact for fish welfare.
The Xenopus Model Welfare Organization will make the use of xenopus as a model organism better by promoting model specific, species specific knowledge and making that knowledge readily available to all stakeholders, including researchers, animal care supervisors, veterinarians, IACUC’s, and government oversight entities. It will influence the care, well-being, and welfare of xenopus as a model for years to come. It will be a compassionate entity that supports the care of xenopus frogs in research institutions and supports the people using xenopus by promoting science based, practical knowledge that can be used by all.
