ZFIN Get Gene Orthologs

Get orthologs of a zebrafish gene across other species from the Alliance of Genome Resources. Returns orthologous genes in human, mouse, fly, worm, yeast, and other model organisms. Essential for translating zebrafish findings to human gene function. Zebrafish share approximately 70% of genes with humans. Example: 'ZFIN:ZDB-GENE-990415-8' (pax2a) returns human PAX2 as ortholog.
