When your #zebrafish lab hasn't used Tol2 in ~3 years...and needs a team effort to dig up the transposase mRNA template ❄️🧊. 🐽

Looking forward to when we can ask such questions for #zebrafish!
#MakeMoreTransgenics #ShareYourTools
Quick Drosophila question: I’m planning to integrate a construct on the second chromosome but would like to avoid the attP40 landing site. Any suggestion for a good alternative attP site on chromosome II? It’s for a skeletal-muscle–related project.
Thanks! 🙂

Grateful to receive an R24 NOA from NIH/ORIP to advance phiC31-based transgenesis tools in #zebrafish. 🐟

Collab with @aburger2009.bsky.social & Breuss labs @cuanschutz.bsky.social. 🧬

...and: big THX to everyone who already helped w/ sharing #pIGLET reagents! 🐽

It's SPIM-ing time again! @mary-flores.bsky.social leading the charge to image new reporters with Amanda Garfield & Emma Harrison. @cudevbio.bsky.social #zebrafish #MakeMoreTransgenics #Imaging #devbio

Someone, somewhere, needs a pic of a pIGLET-based transgenic #zebrafish today.

/ rant on:
Abbreviating cis-regulatory elements as *CRE* is a terrible abbreviation in a field that uses *Cre* recombinase as major lineage trace tool. 🐭🐟🧬

Achievement unlocked:
this simple box flew from CU Anschutz🌎 > University of Otago🌏, after months of paperwork & coordination.

...and now, the #zebrafish pIGLET landing site lines are in New Zealand! Looking forward to the new transgenics from the NZ community.

90+ labs got pIGLET lines & reagents now. 🌎🌍🌏
First labs report targeted germline integrations & beautiful new transgenics - we are always keen to hear your updates!

Ping us about trouble with genotyping, cloning, etc. - email or Slack @zebrafishrock.bsky.social. 🐽

Some small wins: this week's pIGLET shipments arrived at their new homes!

Here's the one to @mydennis.bsky.social's lab - fingers crossed for your new transgenics! 🐽🧬🐟

First zoom with new collaborator and all involved trainees =
- inspired buzzing in the lab
- puts faces to names from prior emails
- motivating common goal

...but importantly
- smiles all around!

1st pIGLET lines of 2025 coming @cudevbio.bsky.social - today:
pIGLET14-based hsp70l-driven loxP transgene with tdTomato-fused reporter + exorh:EGFP marker; tested with drl:creERT2, heat-shocked/imaged at 4 dpf.

Congrats to Amanda Garfield on her first transgenic! 🐽

Ours to compare (pic from 2021 but unchanged except the fall decoration):
every transgenic or mutant ever from our lab was done with needles from this beauty. First at UZH, now @cuanschutz.bsky.social.

#FluorescenceFriday, or when the enhancer you're testing is not doing what you expect (or understand!).

Happy to share the line if anyone's interested, otherwise...🪦
