Species-specific description: Lu et al. (2023) "used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to establish npy2r-deficient medaka (Oryzias latipes). ... this is the first npy2r gene knockout model established in fish and demonstrates that npy2r plays an important role in the regulation of reproduction, feeding and anxiety in fish." This study involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Yes - variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
