Résumé

The zebrafish model organism has been of exceptional utility for the study of vertebrate development and disease through the application of tissue-specific labelling and overexpression of genes carrying patient-derived mutations. However, there remains a need for a binary expression system that is both non-toxic and not silenced over animal generations by DNA methylation. The Q binary expression system derived from the fungus Neurospora crassa is ideal, because the consensus binding site for the QF transcription factor lacks CpG dinucleotides, precluding silencing by CpG-meditated methylation. To optimize this system for zebrafish, we systematically tested several variants of the QF transcription factor: QF full length; QF2, which lacks the middle domain; QF2
