Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Genetics
  • Model organism research

Background:

  • In the 1990s, large-scale genetic mutagenesis screens were conducted using zebrafish.
  • These screens were led by Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard and Wolfgang Driever.
  • The culmination was a special issue of Development in 1996, featuring 37 articles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 1996 zebrafish special issue.
  • To reflect on the impact of these foundational genetic screens.
  • To gather perspectives from five leading zebrafish researchers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of the 1996 Development special issue.
  • Interviews or reflections from five key researchers in the field.
  • Discussion of the long-term impact on zebrafish research.

Main Results:

  • The 1996 issue remains the largest in the journal's history.
  • Researchers share personal career impacts stemming from the issue.
  • The collective work significantly advanced the zebrafish model organism.

Conclusions:

  • The 1996 zebrafish issue was a pivotal moment in developmental genetics.
  • The research established zebrafish as a premier model organism.
  • The legacy of these screens continues to influence the scientific community.
