Danio

The Danio results (only partially available) and other comparisons are expected to blossom as a new branch of research.

Based on the prediction of "FractoGene, Fig. 6. 18" (reproduced in Fig. 3. of this paper) that Fugu should exhibit a primitive P-cell arbor, while Danio should show an intermediate complexity, one of us suggested (AJP to Prof.G. Székely on 7/4/2003) that a preliminary study be conducted to reveal the facts of neuroanatomy in the Fugu, and more recently in the Danio.

While it is simplistic to imagine that total genome size would correlate linearly with specific organelle complexity, we were curious to examine P-cell presence and dendritic complexity in Fugu and Danio.

We wrote in the paper that “The Danio results … and other comparison are expected to blossom as a new branch of research”.

Readers will appreciate, however, that (especially regarding “other comparisons”) there is much more to a proper study by a Hungarian-Japanese joint program than coming up with a Golgi-stained Danio P-cell (as a preliminary result, I have seen *that*).

From plenty direct communications I am getting, it is clear to me that most people agree with your (correct) opinion that Golgi-testing the zebrafish (Danio) PC is an easy game — and thus will be done swiftly (though for reasons I will not touch on in this public posting, most likely not by you).

I hope you realize that as in any algorithmic approach in PostGenetics, there is much more to FractoGene than the “minimum program of the Purkinje cell of the Danio” that you deemed as doable swiftly.

Dr. Bottaro readily acknowledged that the “Danio-test” as a first cut is “doable by a grad student in less than a week”.
