  1. Associations between the presence of sinoatrial pauses during the 30 s recording and the number of mutated alleles in hcn4 weighted by the predicted effect of those mutations on protein function (additive); or in embryos with nonsense mutations in both hcn4 alleles vs. embryos free from CRISPR/Cas9-induced or sa11188 mutations in hcn4 (2 vs. 0) at 2 days post-fertilization (dpf), 5dpf, or at either time point (any). In the CRISPR/Cas9 experiment, associations were examined using logistic regression, adjusting for time of day, batch and for the weighted number of mutated alleles in the other genes as fixed factors; in the sa11188 experiment and combined analysis, associations were examined using mixed models (xtmelogit in Stata), with embryos nested in batches and experiments and adjusting for time of day as a fixed factor. At 2dpf, 26 and 94 unaffected larvae were dropped from the additive and ‘2 vs. 0’ analyses in the CRISPR/Cas9 F1 larvae due to multicollinearity. These observations were included in the combined analysis.
