Abstract excerpt
We report a generally applicable strategy for transferring zygotic lethal mutations through the zebrafish germ line. By using a morpholino oligonucleotide that blocks primordial germ cell (PGC) development, we generate embryos devoid of endogenous PGCs to serve as hosts for the transplantation of germ cells derived from homozygous mutant donors. Successful transfers are identified by the localization of...
