The Zebrafish Information Network

ZFIN serves as the zebrafish model organism database. The long term goals for ZFIN are a) to be the community database resource for the laboratory use of zebrafish, b) to develop and support integrated zebrafish genetic, genomic and developmental information, c) to maintain the definitive reference data sets of zebrafish research information, d) to link this information extensively to corresponding data in other model organism and human databases, e) to facilitate the use of zebrafish as a model for human biology and f) to serve the needs of the research community. ZIRC is the Zebrafish International Resource Center, an independent NIH-funded facility providing a wide range of zebrafish lines, probes and health services. ZFIN works closely with ZIRC to connect our genetic data with available probes and fish lines.

ZFIN作为斑马鱼模式生物数据库，其长远目标包括：a) 成为斑马鱼实验室应用的社区数据库资源；b) 开发并支持综合性的斑马鱼遗传学、基因组学和发育信息；c) 维护斑马鱼研究信息的权威参考数据集；d) 广泛链接该信息与其它模式生物和人类数据库中的对应数据；e) 促进斑马鱼作为人类生物学模型的使用；f) 满足研究社区的需求。ZIRC即斑马鱼国际资源中心，是一家由美国国家卫生研究院（NIH）资助的独立机构，提供多种斑马鱼品系、探针和健康服务。ZFIN与ZIRC紧密合作，将我们的遗传数据与可用的探针和鱼种相连接。
