The zebrafish genome project is a collaboration between the Sanger Institute and the zebrafish community, announced during the Sanger Institute Zebrafish Workshop 2000 and started in February 2001.
This Pre Ensembl website features the
zebrafish assembly version 7 (Zv7). This assembly was produced by
integrating finished clone sequence from the physical map with whole
genome shotgun assembly sequence (more
information).
The zebrafish sequencing project is funded by the Wellcome Trust.

This is an extended Pre Ensembl site, providing a full Ensembl gene set for Zv7. This release is based on a strategy where transcripts are generated based on protein evidence and clustered in genes. Aligned zebrafish cDNAs are used to add UTR regions. Genes are named based on the alignment of their coding regions to known entries in public databases; ZFIN genes have priority in this process.
The main Ensembl Danio rerio site currently contains the last Ensembl genebuild on the Zv6 assembly, along with comparative and functional genomic data. It will be updated to Zv7 for the next Ensembl release in August.
