High-Throughput CRISPR-based Screening in Zebrafish

If you are involved in functional genomics or target validation and wish to benefit from recent advances in CRISPR technology without impacting your resources and timelines…

Why not outsourcing your gene editing work to a specialist team?

Our partner, ZeClinics, is the leading zebrafish company in Europe and experts in using CRISPR/Cas9* to do both simple and advanced genome editing in zebrafish. 

  • Single and double Knock-outs
  • Conditional Knock-outs
  • Short and large Knock-ins
  • Targeted gene mutation
  • Gene tagging

You can have your founder animals as soon as 3 months and can start screening for the relevant phenotype using one of the many phenotypic assays offered (see examples below).
