This is poster number twenty-six and the title is Zebrafish: Earning Their Stripes in Developmental Research. This light teal green colored poster depicts the life stages of zebrafish and images of genetically altered adult fish used for specialized research. The background of this poster shows two muted dark green strands of DNA drawn to represent seaweed horizontally centered and covering about 75% of the poster. At the bottom of the poster is a time line from 0 to 5 days then jumping to the 30th day. Above the time line fish eggs are shown on the far left followed by four images of a growing fish and ending with a fully developed fish at the 1 month old. Above the time line superimposed on the DNA seaweed are five cartoon-like images of fish whose genes were manipulated to emphasize different aspects of the zebrafish. The top three fish are fully developed but are different colors with characteristic black stripes. Below them is a transparent fish with visible stylized internal organs and the bottom fish is also transparent with a visible skeleton. If available, gently used copies can be requested from the NIH Office of Animal Care and Use at SecOACU@od.nih.gov . The subtitle at the bottom of the poster is, A Program Sponsored by The NIH Animal Research Advisory Committee, 301-496-5424. The DHHS, NIH and OACU logos are also shown on the poster.
