Professor Breandan Kennedy and his team are planning further research with this new zebrafish model to understand EMC-related human disease and help discover therapeutic approaches. Professor ...

Further validation of these fish as a model for human disease is the 70 per cent similarity between the human and zebrafish genome, which helped shift research from basic science towards medical ...

Disease genes are usually discovered in humans and then studied in animal models, but this study did the opposite. “It’s an elegant example of ‘reverse evolutionary genetics.’” Kuwada’s team bred a ...
