The zebrafish genome project is a collaboration between the Sanger Institute and the zebrafish community, announced during the Sanger Institute Zebrafish Workshop 2000 and was started in February 2001.
This Ensembl website features the zebrafish assembly version 6 (Zv6),
as released on 30 March 2006. 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 site provides a full Ensembl gene set for Zv6. 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.
