## Description

Zfin is a comprehensive genetic and genomic database that focuses on the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism. Founded by a group of zebrafish researchers in 1994, Zfin aims to provide expertly curated and cross-referenced information on various aspects of zebrafish biology. The database offers a wide array of data, including genes, alleles, transgenic lines, gene expression, gene function, phenotypes, orthology, human disease models, nomenclature, and reagents. Zfin is an integral part of the Alliance of Genome Resources, a collaboration between six major model organism databases. The long-term goals for Zfin include being the go-to community database for zebrafish research, supporting integrated genetic and genomic information, linking data with other model organisms and human databases, and facilitating the use of zebrafish as a model for human biology. Zfin also works closely with the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) to provide access to a wide range of zebrafish lines, probes, and health services. Researchers and scientists can cite Zfin in their publications using recommended formats, ensuring proper acknowledgment of the database's contribution to their work.
