Genetic context of transgene insertion can influence neurodevelopment in zebrafish

Abstract The Gal4/UAS system is used across model organisms to overexpress target genes in precise cell types and relies on generating transgenic Gal4 driver lines. In zebrafish, the Tg(elavl3:KalTA4) (HuC) Gal4 line drives robust expression in neurons. We observed an increased prevalence of swim bladder defects in Tg(elavl3:KalTA4) zebrafish larvae compared to wildtype siblings, which prompted us to investigate whether transgenic larvae display additional neurobehavioral phenotypes.
