Medaka Fish Model

The Seemann Lab is an up and coming medaka fish stock center in the United States. Home to 11 different strains of medaka (Oryzias latipes and Oryzias melastigma), our team is able to provide other researchers with a vital tool for their respective research interests. Please contact us about rates, shipping, and any inquiries related to utilizing this innovative model fish.

  • Fish available from embryo to adult life stage

  • Fish available sexed (after 3/4 months post hatching)

  • Fish available to be shipped live or frozen

O. latipes : Orange-Red

Wild-type strain, origin of transgenic strains. 

O. latipes : Lambda Liz

medaka_stock.jpg

A modified strain.

O. latipes : Twist m.cherry::col10 gfp

medaka_stock.jpg

A double-transgenic strain of O. latipes, this strain has a green fluorescent protein associated with col10 expression and a red fluorescent protein associated with twist expression in bone cells. Ideal for bone morphology, toxicity, development, and other investigations associated with bone cells. 

O. latipes : col10 gpf::osx rpf

652EE68B-36FB-48F5-910E-C3BBCCC40FEF_1_105_c_edited.jpg

A double-transgenic strain of O. latipes, this strain has a green fluorescent protein associated with col10 expression and a red fluorescent protein associated with osx expression in bone cells. Ideal for bone morphology, toxicity, development, and other investigations associated with bone cells. 

O. latipes : CTSK gfp

medaka_stock.jpg

A single-transgenic strain of O. latipes, this strain has a green fluorescent protein associated with ctsk expression in bone cells. Ideal for bone morphology, toxicity, development, and other investigations associated with bone cells. 

O. latipes : Rag1 gfp

9426cbe0-7b36-43e0-a47f-f777f6ef1b12_edited.jpg

A transgenic strain of O. latipes in which a green fluorescent protein is associated with the Rag1 gene. This strain is useful for visualization of immature T-cells which express Rag1, visualization of the thymus, T-cell migration, and related attributes.
