Lateral line and otolith phenotypes of 40 embryos from hmx3aSU42/+ parents injected with hmx2MENTHU CRISPR reagents
Lateral line phenotype | Fused otoliths both ears | Normal otoliths both ears | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Strong | 6 | 0 | 6 |
Medium | 4 | 0 | 4 |
Weak | 2 | 5 | 7 |
Normal | 1 | 22 | 23 |
Total | 13 | 27 | 40 |
Embryos from an incross of hmx3aSU42/+ parents were injected with hmx2MENTHU CRISPR reagents at the one-cell stage and assayed for lateral line primordium and otolith phenotypes at 30 hpf and 72 hpf, respectively. Rows 2–5 show stalled lateral line primordium migration phenotypes: normal = primordium in expected position (over somite 15 at 30 hpf); weak = primordium migration stalled by two or three somites; medium = primordium moderately stalled (over somite 6–7 at 30 hpf); strong = primordium not detected. Columns 2 and 3 show otolith phenotypes. Column 4 shows total number of embryos with each lateral line phenotype. Row 6 shows the total number of embryos with each otolith phenotype.
