MIC-Drop-seq combines CRISPR and scRNA-seq to phenotype mutant zebrafish embryos, revealing known and novel gene functions in development.

The paper identifies prey-specific toxins in cephalopod venom, including neurotensin-mimicking peptides that target fish, revealing an evolutionary strategy for broad venom activity.

This study shows that ablating mpeg+ macrophages worsens mfrp-related hyperopia in zebrafish, suggesting macrophages help mitigate hyperopia.
