Abstract excerpt
With orthologs for >70% of human genes, zebrafish represent a popular model for investigating development and disease, particularly when murine models are unsuitable. One caveat of zebrafish genetic models is the prevalence of paralogs, where compensation and transcriptional adaptation can complicate our understanding. Usher syndrome type 1 F (USH1F), caused by PCDH15 mutations, exemplifies the need for...
