The Phenoscape Knowledgebase is currently in BETA testing - we would greatly value your feedback as we continue its development.

Search the Phenoscape Knowledgebase

The Phenoscape Knowledgebase uses ontologies to integrate phenotypic data from genetic studies of zebrafish with evolutionary variable phenotypes from the systematic literature of ostariophysan fishes. Users can explore the data by searching for anatomical terms, taxa, or gene names.

The Knowledgebase currently contains 333,987 phenotype statements about 2310 taxa, sourced from 51 publications. as well as 11,267 phenotype statements about 2953 genes, retrieved from ZFIN.

Most frequently used terms (entity, taxon, gene):
