However many of the genes contributing to ASD DM have yet to be delineated. In this study we identified additional ASD DM candidate genes with the aim to better define the genetic etiology of this subphenotype of autism. We expanded the previously studied sample size of ASD DM individuals ten fold by including probands from the Autism Phenome Project and Simons Simplex Collection totaling 766 autistic individuals meeting the criteria for megalencephaly or macrocephaly and revealing 154 candidate ASD DM genes harboring de novo protein impacting variants. Our findings include fourteen high confidence autism genes and seven genes previously associated with DM. Five impacted genes have previously been associated with both autism and DM including CHD8 and PTEN. By performing functional network analysis we expanded to additional candidate genes including one previously implicated in ASD DM PIK3CA as well as 184 additional genes previously implicated in ASD or DM alone. Using zebrafish we modeled a de novo tandem duplication impacting YTHDF2 encoding an N6 methyladenosine m6A mRNA reader in an ASD DM proband. Testing zebrafish CRISPR knockdown led to reduced head/brain size while overexpressing YTHDF2 resulted in increased head and brain size matching that of the proband. Single cell transcriptomes of YTHDF2 gain of function larvae point to reduced expression of Fragile X syndrome associated FMRP target genes globally and in the developing brain providing insight into the mechanism underlying autistic phenotypes.

Single cell transcriptomes of YTHDF2 gain of function larvae point to reduced expression of Fragile X syndrome associated FMRP target genes globally and in the developing brain providing insight into the mechanism underlying autistic phenotypes.

However many of the genes contributing to ASD DM have yet to be delineated. In this study we identified additional ASD DM candidate genes with the aim to better define the genetic etiology of this subphenotype of autism. We expanded the previously studied sample size of ASD DM individuals ten fold by including probands from the Autism Phenome Project and Simons Simplex Collection totaling 766 autistic individuals meeting the criteria for megalencephaly or macrocephaly and revealing 154 candidate ASD DM genes harboring de novo protein impacting variants. Our findings include fourteen high confidence autism genes and seven genes previously associated with DM. Five impacted genes have previously been associated with both autism and DM including CHD8 and PTEN. By performing functional network analysis we expanded to additional candidate genes including one previously implicated in ASD DM PIK3CA as well as 184 additional genes previously implicated in ASD or DM alone.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells. Three samples for each population were processed for scRNA seq using the 10x Genomics Chromium single cell three prime gene expression technology.,,pubmed:37643867,,gfp enriched rep3,GSM7702835,,source name:Eye|tissue:Eye|genotype:NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry|developmental stage:48 hpf|geo loc name:missing|collection date:missing,gfp enriched rep3,Cell Ranger v6.1.2 was used to perform alignment filtering barcode counting and UMI counting. A custom reference genome was created for alignment using cellranger mkref combining the Danio rerio GRCz11 genome assembly with manually annotated eGFP and mCherry sequences. Cell calling and QC: The emptyDrops function from DropletUtils was used to filter out empty droplets/barcodes not corresponding to cells Lun et al. 2019. Mitochondrial and ribosomal genes were excluded from the emptyDrops analysis to improve the filtering of droplets containing ambient RNA or cell fragments. The scater package was used to filter cells based on the QC metrics of library size detected genes and mitochondrial reads McCarthy et al. 2017. Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

A custom reference genome was created for alignment using cellranger mkref combining the Danio rerio GRCz11 genome assembly with manually annotated eGFP and mCherry sequences. Cell calling and QC: The emptyDrops function from DropletUtils was used to filter out empty droplets/barcodes not corresponding to cells Lun et al. 2019. Mitochondrial and ribosomal genes were excluded from the emptyDrops analysis to improve the filtering of droplets containing ambient RNA or cell fragments. The scater package was used to filter cells based on the QC metrics of library size detected genes and mitochondrial reads McCarthy et al. 2017. Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

A custom reference genome was created for alignment using cellranger mkref combining the Danio rerio GRCz11 genome assembly with manually annotated eGFP and mCherry sequences. Cell calling and QC: The emptyDrops function from DropletUtils was used to filter out empty droplets/barcodes not corresponding to cells Lun et al. 2019. Mitochondrial and ribosomal genes were excluded from the emptyDrops analysis to improve the filtering of droplets containing ambient RNA or cell fragments. The scater package was used to filter cells based on the QC metrics of library size detected genes and mitochondrial reads McCarthy et al. 2017. Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes. Furthermore we reveal shared molecular signatures between V2a interneurons and motoneurons of the three speed circuit modules. Overall by characterizing how the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons relates to their function connectivity and behavior our study provides important insights not only into the molecular mechanisms for neuronal and circuit diversity for locomotor flexibility but also for charting circuits for motor actions in general.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes. Furthermore we reveal shared molecular signatures between V2a interneurons and motoneurons of the three speed circuit modules.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes. Furthermore we reveal shared molecular signatures between V2a interneurons and motoneurons of the three speed circuit modules.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes.

Locomotion is a motor behavior characterized by sudden changes in speed and strength enabled by the coordinated recruitment of different motoneuron subtypes. Here we use adult zebrafish to link the molecular diversity of motoneurons and the rhythm generating V2a interneurons with their modular circuit organization that is responsible for changes in locomotor speed. We show that the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons reflects their functional segregation into slow intermediate or fast subtypes. Furthermore we reveal shared molecular signatures between V2a interneurons and motoneurons of the three speed circuit modules. Overall by characterizing how the molecular diversity of motoneurons and V2a interneurons relates to their function connectivity and behavior our study provides important insights not only into the molecular mechanisms for neuronal and circuit diversity for locomotor flexibility but also for charting circuits for motor actions in general.
