Fig. 4: Transcriptomic changes in sdhb CRISPants.

A Experimental timeline from one-cell stage embryo microinjection to whole larvae mRNA extraction at 5 dpf for RNA-sequencing. B Volcano plot with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in red (filtered with a value < 0.05 and an absolute log2FoldChange > 1). The full list of DEGs is available in Supplementary Data 1. C Heatmap representing the top 20 DEGs between sdhb-CRISPant samples (sdhb_1, sdhb_2, sdhb_3) and Cas9 controls (cas9_1, cas9_2, cas9_3). D–I qRT-PCR validation of changes in the expression of relevant genes between sdhb-CRISPant (n = 6 pools of 10 larvae) and Cas9-injected control (n = 6 pools of 10 larvae) at 5 dpf. J Lollipop plot of top 15 significantly enriched KEGG pathways clustered from sdhb vs cas9 DEGs. The complete list of enriched KEGG pathways is available in Supplementary Data 2.
