In 1970, UO biologist George Streisinger discovered that the transparent young of zebrafish (Danio rerio) can be observed and genetically manipulated. He later cloned a zebrafish, opening the way for the cloning of vertebrates and firming the foundation for zebrafish being a model organism for biological research. The UO now is home to the Zebrafish Information Network.
