With increasing interest in organogenesis, tissue maintenance and integrity, and the use of zebrafish as a model for human disease, researchers are studying processes that extend further into the larval period. Despite many years of use as a model system an anatomical reference for larval zebrafish does not exist. In order to provide such a resource we developed FishNet an online anatomical reference for zebrafish larval development. Using the technique of optical projection tomography (OPT) (described in Bryson-Richardson and Currie 2004) we have created three- dimensional (3D) models of larval zebrafish from 5 mm to adulthood. Once a 3D model has been created it may be virtually sectioned in any plane or rendered to give a representation of the 3D organization of the sample. ... [Information of the supplier]
This database presents the current results of large scale protein trapping screens that provide both information on which cells express each tagged gene, and subcellular localization of GFP-tagged proteins. It contains sequence coordinates of inserted transposons, information on the tagged genes, and images with expression patterns of GFP in Drosophila tissues. FlyTrap serves as the data repository for lines generated in the Chia, Cooley, and Spradling labs. The protein trap stocks listed in FlyTrap are available for distribution. ...

FlyView is an image database on Drosophila development and genetics, especially on expression patterns of genes (enhancer trap lines, cloned genes). Our aim is to establish the possibility to compare images on the computer screen and to search for special patterns at different developmental stages. FlyView presents three possibilities for searching: Search for pattern elements (with keywords in text descriptions, getting back images with links to the appropriate stocks), search for stocks (with stock number, allele, genotype, chromosome, insertion site, viability, developmental stage or expression pattern, getting back a list of found stocks that guide to full descriptions (including links to images, e-mail address for ordering and, in the case of BDGP lines, also direct links to FlyBase and/or EofD)) and Overview (an actual list of all lines included in FlyView, linked to stock descriptions and images). The success of this database exclusively depends on the activity of the Drosophila community. All Drosophila workers are asked to contribute to this database by submitting images and accompanying text. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
