Abstract
Collecting large numbers of rare cells for high-throughput molecular analysis remains a technical challenge, primarily due to limitations in existing technologies. In developmental biology this has impeded single-cell analysis of primordial organs, which derive from few cells. In this study, we share novel transgenic lines for rapid cell enrichment from zebrafish embryos using human surface antigens for immunological binding and magnetic sorting. As proof of principle, we tagged, enriched, and performed single-cell RNA sequencing on nascent hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and endothelial cells from early embryos. Our method is a quick, efficient, and cost-effective approach to a previously intractable problem.
期刊介绍：
Zebrafish is the only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the central role of zebrafish and other aquarium species as models for the study of vertebrate development, evolution, toxicology, and human disease.
Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is a prime model for genetic and developmental studies. While genetically more distant from humans, the vertebrate zebrafish nevertheless has comparable organs and tissues, such as heart, kidney, pancreas, bones, and cartilage.
Zebrafish introduced the new section TechnoFish, which highlights these innovations for the general zebrafish community.
TechnoFish features two types of articles:
TechnoFish Previews: Important, generally useful technical advances or valuable transgenic lines
TechnoFish Methods: Brief descriptions of new methods, reagents, or transgenic lines that will be of widespread use in the zebrafish community
Zebrafish coverage includes:
Comparative genomics and evolution
Molecular/cellular mechanisms of cell growth
Genetic analysis of embryogenesis and disease
Toxicological and infectious disease models
Models for neurological disorders and aging
New methods, tools, and experimental approaches
Zebrafish also includes research with other aquarium species such as medaka, Fugu, and Xiphophorus.
