The paper adapts the Ac/Ds transposition system to enable CRISPR/dCas9 interference for studying non-coding RNAs and enhancers in zebrafish without altering genetic sequences.

The paper creates a central repository for zebrafish developmental genomics data, identifies new cis-regulatory elements, and compares regulatory elements between zebrafish and mouse.

This study analyzes the neural crest gene regulatory network in sea lampreys to identify conserved and unique elements across vertebrates.

This study shows foxd3 acts as a pioneer factor and then switches to a repressor in neural crest cells, dynamically remodeling chromatin structure to control stemness and cell fate.

The paper develops a double binary zebrafish model to study myeloid gene regulation during melanocyte transformation and melanoma initiation.

The paper identifies a novel class of circular RNAs in zebrafish embryonic cells that arise from tandem duplicated genes and are enriched on polysomes.
