Book excerpt: The Danio rerio (zebrafish) is an alternative vertebrate animal model for in vitro and in vivo research methodologies. In the last decades, notably due to increased laboratory investigation, novel discoveries, and complete genome sequencing, the zebrafish has attracted great interest from the scientific community.
