Transcriptional divergence of the zebrafish sox17 lineage begins during gastrulation

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to study the zebrafish sox17 lineage during gastrulation, revealing transcriptional changes in endoderm and dorsal forerunner cells.

Met regulates endoderm migration in zebrafish

This study shows that the RTK Met promotes directional migration of endodermal cells during gastrulation in zebrafish, with Hgf signaling being dispensable for this process.

Endodermal cells use contact inhibition of locomotion to achieve uniform cell dispersal during zebrafish gastrulation

The paper shows endodermal cells use contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) mediated by EphA2 and RhoA to disperse uniformly during zebrafish gastrulation.

Tissue-specific and endogenous protein labeling with split fluorescent proteins

This paper introduces a split fluorescent protein system for tissue-specific and endogenous protein labeling in zebrafish, demonstrating its use for labeling cytoskeleton genes and manipulating protein function.

TAEL 2.0: An Improved Optogenetic Expression System for Zebrafish

The paper improves the TAEL optogenetic system for zebrafish, enhancing gene expression induction while maintaining safety, and creates stable transgenic lines for broader use.
