Abstract excerpt
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is crucial in cardiovascular development and maintenance. However, the biological role of Patched1 (Ptch1), an inhibitory receptor of the Hh signaling pathway, remains elusive. In this study, a Ptch1 ortholog was characterized in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), and its function was investigated through CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout. When one-cell embryos were injected with CRISPR/Cas9...
