Figure Lengend Snippet: A and B Targeting wild-type gja5b with an E42K substitution resulted in Snowflake -like phenotypes (A, severe bar disturbance; B, opposite side of the same mosaic individual with wild-type pattern). C/C 1 and D/D 1 CRISPR/Cas9 mutations induced by NHEJ in the vicinity of E42 also led to phenotypes similar to Snowflake in G0 fish, displaying moderate bilateral symmetry.
Article Snippet: A mixture of Ao-gja5-crRNA2 (40 ng/ml, Target seq: TACGGCAGCCGAGTCTTCGT GGG , PAM ), BaitD-crRNA (40 ng/ml, Target seq: GATCTTCGGCCTAGACTGCG AGG ), tracrRNA (140 ng/ml, FASMAC), Cas9-nickase protein (D10A)(1000 ng/ml, FASMAC), and the donor plasmid (2.5 ng/ml) was microinjected into the cytoplasm of 1- or 2-cell stage fertilized eggs as described previously .
