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.
