Production of clones of homozygous diploid zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio)

Nature volume 291, pages 293–296 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

Homozygous diploid zebra fish have been produced on a large scale by the application of simple physical treatments. Clones of homozygous fish have been produced from individual homozygotes. These clones and associated genetic methods mil facilitate genetic analyses of this vertebrate.
