In 2022, scientists discovered a new type of cell division called asynthetic fission found in the squamous epithelial cells in the epidermis of juvenile zebrafish. When juvenile zebrafish are growing, skin cells must quickly cover the rapidly increasing surface area of the zebrafish.
Researchers at Academia Sinica, Taiwan’s national academic institution, have identified a new form of cell division that does not involve the replication of DNA. Since the 1870s, only two forms ...
Epiboly in zebrafish is the first coordinated cell movement, beginning at the dome stage late in the blastula period and continuing throughout gastrulation. [3] At this point the zebrafish embryo contains three portions: an epithelial monolayer known as the enveloping layer (EVL), a yolk syncytial layer (YSL) which is a membrane-enclosed group of nuclei that lie on top of the yolk cell, and ...
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family of the order Cypriniformes.Native to South Asia, [2] it is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio [3] (and thus often called a "tropical fish" although it is both tropical and subtropical).
This gene is expressed before gonads develop and differentiate. Mutations in this gene lead to sex reversal from male to female. While this gene plays a major role in sex determination in some fish species other species have variations of this gene as well as some versions of the Sox gene as seen in zebrafish. [12]
The Zebrafish Information Network 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.

Zebrafish: Danio rerio. [47] Good embryo supply. Well developed genetics. Chicken: Gallus gallus. [48] Early stages similar to mammal, but microsurgery easier. Low cost. Mouse: Mus musculus. [49] A mammal [44] with well developed genetics.
Amitosis, also known as karyostenosis, direct cell division, or binary fission, is a form of asexual cell division primarily observed in bacteria and other prokaryotes. This process is distinct from other cell division mechanisms such as mitosis and meiosis , mainly because it bypasses the complexities associated with the mitotic apparatus ...
