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...

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. Developmental Biology, 417(1), 25-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2016.07.010

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...

Wallerian degeneration is executed by an NMN-SARM1-dependent late Ca(2+) influx but only modestly influenced by mitochondria (2015)
Journal Article

Axon injury leads to rapid depletion of NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT2 and high levels of its substrate, NMN. We proposed a key role for NMN in Wallerian degeneration but downstream events and their relationship to other mediators remain unclear. Her...

The miR-30 microRNA family targets smoothened to regulate hedgehog signalling in zebrafish early muscle development (2013)
Journal Article
Ketley, A., Warren, A., Holmes, E., Gering, M., Aboobaker, A. A., & Brook, J. D. (2013). The miR-30 microRNA family targets smoothened to regulate hedgehog signalling in zebrafish early muscle development. PLoS ONE, 8(6), Article e65170. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0065170

The importance of microRNAs in development is now widely accepted. However, identifying the specific targets of individual microRNAs and understanding their biological significance remains a major challenge. We have used the zebrafish model system to...
