This study shows that loss of Stag1 in zebrafish impairs cell cycle progression and activates p53, but is compensated by changes in BMP signaling and metabolism.

The paper shows that mutations in cohesin subunits rad21 and stag2b have distinct developmental effects in zebrafish, suggesting independent roles of cohesin quantity and composition in early development.

This study shows that Stag1 and Stag2 differentially affect haematopoietic mesoderm development in zebrafish embryos, with stag1a and stag2b mutants showing distinct hematopoietic defects.
