This list includes a mix of models that have been developed for a long time, some for more than a century, with well-established protocols and numerous publications utilizing these techniques (such as the house mouse, fruit fly, and Caenorhabditis elegans), as well as several other models where efforts to develop genetic approaches are still in their early stages.…”
