Developmental functions of the dynamic DNA methylome and hydroxymethylome in the mouse and zebrafish: similarities and differences (2018)
Journal Article
Jessop, P., Ruzov, A., & Gering, M. (2018). Developmental functions of the dynamic DNA methylome and hydroxymethylome in the mouse and zebrafish: similarities and differences. Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 6, Article 27. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2018.00027

5-methylcytosine (5mC) is the best understood DNA modification and is generally believed to be associated with repression of gene expression. Over the last decade, sequentially oxidized forms of 5mC (oxi-mCs) have been discovered within the genomes o...

NMN deamidase delays Wallerian degeneration and rescues axonal defects caused by NMNAT2 deficiency in vivo (2017)
Journal Article
Di Stefano, M., Loreto, A., Orsomando, G., Mori, V., Zamporlini, F., Hulse, R. P., …Conforti, L. (2017). NMN deamidase delays Wallerian degeneration and rescues axonal defects caused by NMNAT2 deficiency in vivo. Current Biology, 27(6), 784-794. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2017.01.070

Axons require the axonal NAD-synthesizing enzyme NMNAT2 to survive. Injury or genetically-induced depletion of NMNAT2 triggers axonal degeneration or defective axon growth. We have previously proposed that axonal NMNAT2 primarily promotes axon surviv...

A gene trap transposon eliminates haematopoietic expression of zebrafish Gfi1aa, but does not interfere with haematopoiesis (2016)
Journal Article
Thambyrajah, R. S., Ucanok, D., Jalali, M., Hough, Y., Wilkinson, R. N., McMahon, K., …Gering, M. (2016). A gene trap transposon eliminates haematopoietic expression of zebrafish Gfi1aa, but does not interfere with haematopoiesis.

A transposon-mediated gene trap screen identified the zebrafish line qmc551 that expresses a GFP reporter in primitive erythrocytes and also in haemogenic endothelial cells, which give rise to haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that see...
