Abstract:
In recent years,zebrafish has become ideal animal models of human disease with its unique characteristics,such as small body,fecundity,fast development and growth,embryo transparency,and so on.Furthermore,the structure and gene of zebrafish eye are highly conservative with human eye,which make ophthalmologists to pay close attentions to zebrafish.This review focused on the studies and applications on zebrafish embryonic development of eyes,and also the applications of currently used genetic regulation and editing techniques and tools.
