ZEBRAFISH NEUROPHENOME PROJECT • The ZNP was started by the ZNRC, and is dedicated toward producing a ZND • Let’s start by defining these acronyms

The main goal of ZNRC is to promote zebrafish neuroscience research. • Created in February 2010, ZNRC offers excellent networking opportunities and peer support for active zebrafish labs.
ZNDZebrafish Neurophenome Database • Goals: • Pioneering • Accessible • Easy to use • Useful
Emerging Model Organism • The Zebrafish is an emerging model animal for vertebrate development and neurological function • Offers a good compliment to other animal models • Advantages • Easy to take care of • Inexpensive • Easy to test • Quantifiable behavioral endpoints
Inspiration • Mice Mouse Genome Informatics (G+P) Mouse Phenome Database (P) • Rats Rat Genome Database (G) National BioResource Project (P) • Zebrafish ZFIN (Genome) NCBI (Genome) • The point? • A Phenome database for the Zebrafish does not yet exist, but inevitably will sometime soon

Special Thanks • Budd Hirons - who has been essential to the actualization of this idea. • ILC (Innovative Learning Center) & Tulane University Technology Services • Also, Tulane has been kind enough to supply us with the server space that is required to host such a database.
In Conclusion • The Zebrafish is an emerging animal model for vertebrate development and neurological function • We hope to work closely with other zebrafish-based databases to help provide a better, more comprehensive user experience • Check in regularly at: • http://www.tulane.edu/~znpindex/search • Or just search ZNP or Zebrafish Phenome • You can help by submitting your data.
