It is a model organism for studying developmental genetics and neurobiology.
Case Western Reserve University received $5.5 million to establish a center for developmental genetics.
It has become the standard model species for studying developmental genetics of vertebrates, in particular fish.
He combined this with a position as professor in developmental genetics at Utrecht University from May 2000.
This should be especially useful in developmental genetics and in environmental applications where model systems are not available.
Later work with other model organisms continued to contribute to developmental genetics.
Neumann-Held suggests that we redefine our view of the "gene" in relation to developmental genetics.
Because great deal is known about its development from egg to larva to adult, it is a key model for developmental genetics, or evo-devo.
These include the study of developmental genetics, disease processes and gene regulation.
