Abstract
SUMMARY: Rapid development, transparency and small size are the outstanding features of zebrafish that make it as an increasingly important vertebrate system for developmental biology, functional genomics, disease modeling and drug discovery. Zebrafish has been regarded as ideal animal specie for studying the relationship between genotype and phenotype, for pathway analysis and systems biology. However, the tremendous amount of data generated from large numbers of embryos has led to the bottleneck of data analysis and modeling. The ZFIQ (zebrafish image quantitator) software provides streamlined data processing and analysis capability for developmental biology and disease modeling using zebrafish model. AVAILABILITY: ZFIQ is available for download at http://www.cbi-platform.net.
