The small size, high fecundity, rapid development, and transparent nature have made zebrafish Danio rerio an important model organism for functional studies of the vertebrate genome. In this talk, I will discuss our work on: 1) functional gene discovery using induced mutations; 2) Analysis of the genome to identify tissue- and cell-type specific enhancers.
