The data shown were the results of several individual injection experiments. Each injection resulted in quantitatively similar percentages of the phenotypic changes in the injected zebrafish embryos. See text for discussion. The phenotypic changes are as defined and shown in Fig. 2.
pT7va is a control plasmid produced by deletion of ribozyme coding sequences from pT7vaRz.
The complementary flanking sequences (binding arms) are as follows:
Rz(ntl)435: 5′-CCTCCGTT.......AGTTTATT-3′
Rz(ntl)435-11: 5′-CCTCCCTT.......AGATTATT-3′
Rz(ntl)435-22:5′-CCACCCTT.......AGATTTTT-3′
Rz(ntl)435-S: 5′-CTCTACTT.......TTGCTGTA-3′
The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of the phenotypic change by the number of the survived.
