Highly Efficient CRISPR-Cas9-Based Methods for Generating Deletion Mutations and F0 Embryos that Lack Gene Function in Zebrafish

TLDR
Supernumerary guanine nucleotides at the 5' ends of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) account for diminished CRISPR-Cas9 activity in zebrafish embryos and heritable deletion mutations of at least 50 kbp can be readily induced using pairs of duplex guide RNPs targeted to a single chromosome.

Genetic compensation induced by deleterious mutations but not gene knockdowns

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that egfl7 mutants do not show any obvious phenotypes while animals injected with egfl 7 morpholino (morphants) exhibit severe vascular defects, indicating that the activation of a compensatory network to buffer against deleterious mutations was not observed after translational or transcriptional knockdown.

A simple and effective F0 knockout method for rapid screening of behaviour and other complex phenotypes.

TL;DR: This work developed a simple sequencing-free tool to validate gRNAs and a highly effective CRISPR-Cas9 method capable of converting >90% of injected embryos directly into F0 biallelic knockouts, and demonstrates that F0 knockouts reliably recapitulate complex mutant phenotypes.

Evolutionary conservation, translational relevance and cognitive function: The future of zebrafish in behavioral neuroscience

TL;DR: This review, based upon an Outstanding Achievement Award lecture presented by the author at an IBNS conference, explores the potential reasons for the popularity of the zebrafish and discusses theoretical questions and empirical examples from the author's own laboratory.

Optic cup morphogenesis requires neural crest-mediated basement membrane assembly

TL;DR: Using multidimensional imaging and computational analyses in zebrafish, it is established that cell movements in the developing optic cup require neural crest, and that optic cup morphogenesis is dependent upon neural crest-derived nidogens, which modulate extracellular matrix assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissecting cell identity via network inference and in silico gene perturbation

TL;DR: In this paper , a machine-learning-based approach, called CellOracle, is applied to well-established paradigms-mouse and human haematopoiesis, and zebrafish embryogenesis-and correctly model reported changes in phenotype that occur as a result of transcription factor perturbation.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.

Stages of embryonic development of the zebrafish.

TL;DR: A series of stages for development of the embryo of the zebrafish, Danio (Brachydanio) rerio is described, providing for flexibility and continued evolution of the staging series as the authors learn more about development in this species.

The new frontier of genome engineering with CRISPR-Cas9

TL;DR: The power of the CRISPR-Cas9 technology to systematically analyze gene functions in mammalian cells, study genomic rearrangements and the progression of cancers or other diseases, and potentially correct genetic mutations responsible for inherited disorders is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and applications of CRISPR-Cas9 for genome engineering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and applications of Cas9 for a variety of research or translational applications while highlighting challenges as well as future directions, and highlight challenges and future directions.

Genome-Scale CRISPR-Cas9 Knockout Screening in Human Cells

TL;DR: This work shows that lentiviral delivery of a genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout (GeCKO) library targeting 18,080 genes with 64,751 unique guide sequences enables both negative and positive selection screening in human cells, and observes a high level of consistency between independent guide RNAs targeting the same gene and a high rate of hit confirmation.
