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.
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

The point?
A Phenome database for the Zebrafish does not yet exist, but inevitably will sometime soon
PubMed search“zebrafish”
1900-1985 - 61 papers
1985-1990 - 114 papers
1990-1995 - 487 papers
1995-2000 - 1981 papers
2000-2005 - 4946 papers
2005-2010 - 7538 papers
Between 2005 and 2010 the total number of zebrafish-related papers ever written doubled.

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
