INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND 1.1.1 Zebrafish The zebrafish (Daniorerio), is a small fish, belonging to the genus Danio, which is a part of the Cyprinidae family. It is a tropical fish that is found mainly in the Indian sub-continent in various rivers, lakes, and freshwater bodies. The important characteristics that have made zebrafish popular in research are as follows: (1) Fully sequenced genome with high conservation to humans (Howe et al., 2014) (2) High spawning frequency (Kimmel et al., 1995; Briggs, 2002) (3) ...

In terms of disease areas, zebrafish models have been developed and are being used by various researchers in academia and industry for neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, infectious diseases, inflammation, immunology, and many other areas (MacRae & Peterson, 2015).
