ABSTRACT A systematic knowledge of the roles of DNA repair genes at the level of the organism has been limited largely due to the lack of appropriate animal models and experimental techniques. Zebrafish has become a powerful vertebrate genetic model system with availability due to the ease of genome editing and large-scale phenotype screening.
