HB32C

The Laboratory Medaka, breed HB32C, is a specialized strain of the small freshwater fish Oryzias latipes, often known as the Japanese rice fish or medaka. This particular breed has been developed for research purposes due to its distinct genetic traits and phenotypic markers, making it an invaluable model organism in scientific studies. HB32C medakas display a unique coloration, characterized by a translucent body and a striking contrast between their primarily pigmented eyes and colorless scales, allowing for easy observation of internal processes and developmental stages. Researchers favor the HB32C strain for its stable and predictable genetics, which are critical for conducting controlled experiments in developmental biology, genetics, and toxicology. Additionally, the HB32C medaka's rapid life cycle, ease of breeding in laboratory settings, and transparent embryos contribute to its utility in studying vertebrate development and gene function. Known for their resilience and adaptability, these medakas are crucial to advancing our understanding of complex biological systems and hold promise for future discoveries in human health and disease.
