DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We have recently demonstrated that gene targeting via homologous recombination in zebrafish is feasible (Zuatal, Nature Methods, 2013). Homologous recombination in zebrafish with a dsDNA donor makes it possible to knock-in variants of human genes of rare and undiagnosed diseases into zebrafish genome. We have selected four such genes that are conserved between zebrafish and human for genomic knock-in studies. These zebrafish models should facilitate the understanding of genetics, biochemistry and pathophysiology of these newly diagnosed disease genes.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们最近证明了通过斑马鱼的同源重组进行基因靶向是可行的（Zuatal, Nature Methods, 2013）。在斑马鱼与dsDNA供体的同源重组使得将罕见和未诊断疾病的人类基因变体敲入斑马鱼基因组成为可能。我们选择了斑马鱼和人类之间保守的四个基因进行基因组敲入研究。这些斑马鱼模型应该有助于理解这些新诊断的疾病基因的遗传学、生物化学和病理生理学。
