Zebrafish Tol2 Transgenesis Services

showcase_tol2

Insert large content in the zebrafish genome using the Tol2 transposon-based system.

Using Tol2 transgenesis you can generate:

  • Cre Recombinase-Driver lines
  • Transcriptional reporters
  • Models to analyze tissue-specific gene expression
  • Models to control the timing of gene expression
  • Humanized zebrafish

Comparison of Tol2 vs. CRISPR

Nature of EditNumber of InsertionsGermline Edits
Germline EfficiencyCommon TerminologyPhenotype in F0 (injected embryos)Max. Size of Insert
Tol2 Transposase
Random insertion
Multiple
Yes
10% to 40%
Transgenesis
Mosaic
Usually 13-15kb - depends on cargo
CRISPR/Cas9
Site specific
Single
Yes
~2% to 5%
Knock-in Edit
Mosaic
Unknown but appears that the larger the insert the lower the efficiency.
