摘要The International Zebrafish Conference(IZFC)has served as the premier gathering for the zebrafish research community for over 20 years.Featuring numerous plenaries and concurrent sessions,the conference showed the latest advancements in zebrafish research and provided attendees with insights into the most innovative research tools and technologies currently available.In China,a rapidly increasing number of researchers have been trying to use zebrafish as the model animal to study fundamental questions in developmental biology and related fields(Ma et al.,2016),and the Beijing-based Journal of Genetics and Genomics(JGG)has recently published a special issue on Zebrafish Biology to promote the research of zebrafish(https://www.sciencedirect.com/joumaV journal-of-genetics-and-genomics/special-issues).In 2019,the 14th IZFC was held in the Asia-Pacific region,namely Suzhou,China,marking the first time the conference was held outside the United States.
