Germline removal reprograms somatic genome maintenance towards faster, energy-efficient, high-fidelity DNA defence and repair

Jean‐Charles de Coriolis, Ghazal Alavioon, Wilfried Haerty, Emmanouil Tsakoumis, Monika Schmitz, Alice May Godden, Raheleh Rahbari, Alexei A. Maklakov, Simone Immler

This study shows that removing the germline in zebrafish reprograms somatic DNA repair and stress responses, favoring high-fidelity mechanisms and altering gene expression patterns across multiple organs.

Environmentally induced variation in sperm sRNAs is linked to gene expression and transposable elements in zebrafish offspring

Alice May Godden, Willian T. A. F. Silva, Berrit Kiehl, Cécile Jolly, Leighton Folkes, Ghazal Alavioon, Simone Immler

This study shows that environmental factors affect sperm small RNAs in zebrafish, which in turn influence gene expression and transposable element activity in offspring.

Within-ejaculate sperm selection in humans acts against molecular signatures of age-related disease

Daniel Marcu, Jayme Cohen‐Krais, Alice May Godden, Ghazal Alavioon, Anders Bergström, Kristian Almstrup, Alexei A. Maklakov, Gerhard Saalbach, Simone Immler

The paper identifies within-ejaculate sperm selection in humans that favors sperm with molecular signatures opposing age-related disease.

Paternal starvation affects metabolic gene expression during zebrafish offspring development and life-long fitness

Ada Jiménez-González, Federico Ansaloni, Constance Nebendahl, Ghazal Alavioon, David S. Murray, Weronika Robak, Remo Sanges, Ferenc Müller, Simone Immler

This study shows that paternal starvation in zebrafish affects offspring metabolism and fitness, with lasting impacts on gene expression and development.

Kita crispants for systematic image-based genetic screens of complex traits in zebrafish larvae

Eugenia Mazzaferro, Christoph Metzendorf, Hanqing Zhang, Endrina Mújica, Ida Höijer, Ghazal Alavioon, Joao Campos Costa, Naomi L. Cook, Sara G. Vienberg, Djordje Djordjevic, Anders Olof Larsson, Adam Ameur, Anastasia Emmanouilidou, Amin Allalou, Marcel den Hoed

The paper introduces Kita as a target for CRISPR/Cas9 screens in zebrafish larvae to improve the reliability and efficiency of genetic screens for complex traits.
