About the Zebrafish genome

The zebrafish genome project is a collaboration between the Sanger Institute and the zebrafish community, announced during the Sanger Institute Zebrafish Workshop 2000 and was started in February 2001.

Assembly

This Ensembl website features the zebrafish assembly version 7 (Zv7), as released on 13 July 2007. This assembly was produced by integrating finished clone sequence from the physical map with whole genome shotgun assembly sequence (more information).

The zebrafish sequencing project is funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Annotation

This site provides a full Ensembl gene set for Zv7. This release is based on a strategy where transcripts are generated based on protein evidence and clustered in genes. Aligned zebrafish cDNAs are used to add UTR regions. Genes are named based on the alignment of their coding regions to known entries in public databases; ZFIN genes have priority in this process.

What's New in Ensembl 50

Danio rerio News

• Non-coding genes
  These have been updated for most species, including an miRNA update and HGNC names where possible.
• Zebrafish array data
  Agilent V2 array data has been mapped to Zebrafish cDNAs and genomic sequence. The cDNA mappings are available as a standard Ensembl track, and the genomic mappings are supplied as a DAS track.

General News

• Canonical Transcripts
  

  Canonical transcripts have been defined for all genes in the core databases.

• SSAHA
  From release 50 we will no longer be providing SSAHA sequence search. If you wish to run your own SSAHA sequence search you can download the files to generate the search hashes from our FTP site.
• Projections of gene names and GO terms
  These have been done as usual, between a variety of species.
