| Abstract | This project aims to unlock the full scientific potential of a group of small, colorful fish commonly found in home aquariums—guppies, mollies, and swordtails. These fish have already allowed scientists to uncover important insights on human diseases such as melanoma and metabolic disorders, as well as in studies of animal behavior and development. However, scientists currently lack the tools to precisely modify their DNA, which limits how much we can learn from them. This project will develop n |
