Analysis of an apparent mutant/morphant disagreement |
Barthelson K, Baer L, Dong Y, Hand M, Pujic Z, Newman M, Goodhill GJ, Richards RI, Pederson SM, Lardelli M. Zebrafish Chromosome 14 Gene Differential Expression in the fmr1 (h u2787) Model of Fragile X Syndrome. Front Genet. 2021 May 31;12:625466. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2021.625466. eCollection 2021. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2021.625466/full Interesting analysis of an apparent mutant/morphant disagreement finding no genetic compensation experimentally. |

Generating Zebrafish RNA-Less Mutant Alleles by Deleting Gene Promoters with CRISPR/Cas9 |
A frameshift mutation did not phenocopy the corresponding Morpholino. To avoid transcriptional adaptation (genetic compensation), the authors made mutants with deleted promoters, eliminating the NMD transcript that would trigger transcriptional adaptation. |

Chemistry of Peptide-Oligonucleotide Conjugates: A Review |
It appears CPP are becoming a hot topic for reviews. This is a nice open-access example. Klabenkova K, Fokina A, Stetsenko D. Chemistry of Peptide-Oligonucleotide Conjugates: A Review. Molecules. 2021; 26(17):5420. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules26175420 |

Morphant vs mutant: "...this knockout line is deemed unsuitable for our study." |
Here’s a nice description of why, in this study, morphants are preferable to mutants. |
