The paper identifies six cis-regulatory elements controlling mdka expression in zebrafish telencephalic NSCs during development and regeneration, showing that their cooperation is necessary for full expression.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify lateral floor plate progenitor cells as the origin of intraspinal serotonergic neurons in zebrafish.

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 identifies BMP/Id1 signaling as critical for maintaining NSC quiescence and regenerative capacity in adult zebrafish telencephalon, with Her4.1 as a key downstream target.

The paper analyzes transcriptomic changes in zebrafish telencephalon after injury, revealing a coordinated switch in cholesterol metabolism involving multiple regulatory mechanisms.

The paper identifies a conserved enhancer module regulating id1 expression in zebrafish neural stem cells, showing BMP signaling controls NSC quiescence and proliferation.
