We're interested in the relationship between gene activity and phenotypic outcomes after challenges like genetic mutations, chromatin disruption and infection.

Someone on Mastodon recently posted about issues they've seen with #zebrafish annotation in recent #Ensembl versions, so we wrote down some of what we've noticed. The TL;DR version is that we are just using Ensembl 109's annotation, including for enrichment analyses.

The final version of our new article is out @DMM_Journal! We analysed the transcriptome of Shigella flexneri infection in zebrafish larvae and discovered Shigella-inducible factors involved in controlling host susceptibility. doi.org/10.1242/dmm.050431

Super happy to have this story up @biorxivpreprint with @stevewilsonlab. Allele-specific expression can mess with your mutant #RNAseq, always check genomic location of DE genes! #zebrafish
