Manipulation of the Tyrosinase gene permits improved CRISPR/Cas editing and neural imaging in cichlid fish.

Abstract excerpt

Direct tests of gene function have historically been performed in a limited number of model organisms. The CRISPR/Cas system is species-agnostic, offering the ability to manipulate genes in a range of models, enabling insights into evolution, development, and physiology. Astatotilapia burtoni, a cichlid fish from the rivers and shoreline around Lake Tanganyika, has been extensively studied in the laboratory to...
