Abstract excerpt
Genetic compensation is a common phenomenon in zebrafish in response to genetic alterations. Differences between genetic and morpholino-mediated zebrafish models of human diseases have led to significant difficulties in phenotypic interpretation and translatability. One form of compensation is the maternal deposit of mRNAs and proteins to the oocyte that supports developmental processes before zygotic genome...
