Tol2: a versatile gene transfer vector in vertebrates (2007)
Abstract The medaka fish Tol2 element is an autonomous transposon that encodes a fully functional transposase. The transposase protein can catalyze transposition of a transposon construct that has...
Targeting neural circuitry in zebrafish using GAL4 enhancer trapping (2007)
Scott, Ethan K., Mason, Lindsay, Arrenberg, Aristides B., Ziv, Limor, Gosse, Nathan J., Xiao, Tong, ...
We present a pilot enhancer trap screen using GAL4 to drive expression of upstream activator sequence (UAS)-linked transgenes in expression patterns dictated by endogenous enhancers in zebrafish. The...

The molecular and cellular mechanisms governing cell motility and directed migration in response to the chemokine SDF-1 are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that zebrafish primordial germ cells...

The Tol2 element of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes belongs to the hAT family of transposons (hobo/Ac/Tam3). We report here identification of a functional transposase of Tol2 that is capable of...

The adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in the lakes of East Africa is a prime example of speciation. The choice of cichlid mates on the basis of a variety of coloration represents a potential basis...
Fugu ESTs: New Resources for Transcription Analysis and Genome Annotation
Clark, Melody S., Edwards, Yvonne J.K., Peterson, Dan, Clifton, Sandra W., Thompson, Amanda J., Sasaki, Masahide, ...
The draft Fugu rubripes genome was released in 2002, at which time relatively few cDNAs were available to aid in the annotation of genes. The data presented here describe the sequencing and analysis...
The Zebrafish pob Gene Encodes a Novel Protein Required for Survival of Red Cone Photoreceptor Cells
Taylor, Michael R., Kikkawa, Satoshi, Diez-Juan, Antonio, Ramamurthy, Visvanathan, Kawakami, Koichi, Carmeliet, Peter, ...
The zebrafish mutant, partial optokinetic response b (pob), was isolated using an N-ethyl N-nitrosourea (ENU)-based screening strategy designed to identify larvae with defective optokinetic responses...

The Tol2 transposable element of the Japanese medaka fish belongs to the hAT family of transposons including hobo of Drosophila, Ac of maize, and Tam3 of snapdragon. To date, Tol2 is the only natural...

The Tol2 element is a naturally occurring active transposable element found in vertebrate genomes. The Tol2 transposon system has been shown to be active from fish to mammals and considered to be a...
A cardiac myosin light chain kinase regulates sarcomere assembly in the vertebrate heart
Seguchi, Osamu, Takashima, Seiji, Yamazaki, Satoru, Asakura, Masanori, Asano, Yoshihiro, Shintani, Yasunori, ...
Marked sarcomere disorganization is a well-documented characteristic of cardiomyocytes in the failing human myocardium. Myosin regulatory light chain 2, ventricular/cardiac muscle isoform (MLC2v),...
