The purpose of the study is to generate a viperin-knockout zebrafish using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering and to investigate the effect of this mutation under VHSV infection.

Viperin is an important virus-induced protein being studied in the context of the zebrafish model and VHSV infection.
