In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

In zebrafish the Tgelavl3:KalTA4 HuC line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tgelavl3:KalTA4 zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes. Tgelavl3:KalTA4 larvae showed alterations in brain activity brain morphology and behavior including increased hindbrain size and reduced activity of the cerebellum. Bulk RNA seq analysis revealed massive dysregulation of the transcriptome and suggested an increased ratio of neuronal progenitor cells compared to differentiated neurons. To understand whether these phenotypes derive from Gal4 toxicity or from positional effects related to transgenesis we used economical low pass whole genome sequencing to map the Tol2 mediated insertion site to chromosome eight. Reduced expression of the neighboring gene gadd45ga a known cell cycle regulator is consistent with increased proliferation and suggests a role for positional effects. Challenges with creating alternative pan neuronal lines include the length of the elavl3 HuC promoter 9 kb and random insertion using traditional transgenesis methods. To facilitate the generation of alternative lines we cloned five neuronal promoters atp6v0cb elavl3 rtn1a sncb and stmn1b ranging from 1.7 kb to 4.3 kb and created KalTA4 lines using Tol2 and the phiC31 integrase based pIGLET system. Our study highlights the importance of using appropriate genetic controls and establishes a roadmap for identifying positional effects in new transgenic lines.

Through head to head sciPlex RNA seq experiments we demonstrate that this method represents a substantial improvement over enzymatic dissociation and that it is compatible with a wide range of developmental stages.,,,Sci plexRNAseq of a 96hpf whole zebrafish embryo dissociated using enzymatic digestion.,,expt3.96.enzymatic.P18.E12.fq.gz,,seq depth:NA|Experiment id:3|dissociation method:enzymatic|replicate:5|strain:AB|isolate:not applicable|breed:not applicable|cultivar:not applicable|ecotype:not applicable|age:96 hpf|dev stage:96 hpf|collection date:2024 03 19|geo loc name:USA:Washington Seattle|sex:not collected|tissue:Whole Embryo|sample type:Whole organism|BioSampleModel:Model organism or animal,,,,,,,,,sciPlex RNAseq of whole Danio rerio embryos: expt3 96hpf enzymatic dissociation replicate 5,210,210,Libraries were generated using sciPlex RNAseq3 combinatorial indexing.
