[en] Using the CRISP/Cas9 technology, we targeted the zebrafish col10a1a gene to insert the Gfp coding sequence into its genome, generating a transgenic zebrafish line expressing a secreted Gfp fusion protein in the developing skeleton that reveals the bone extracellular matrix.

Commentary :
The zebrafish is increasingly used as a model to study skeletal development and homeostasis. One advantage is the
transparency of the larvae allowing live observation of internal structures. The zebrafish col10a1a gene is expressed in hypertrophic chondrocytes (cartilage) and in osteoblasts (forming bone) and thus is a perfect marker for the developing skeleton.We present a transgenic zebrafish zebrafish line expressing a secreted Gfp fusion
protein in the developing skeleton that reveals the bone extracellular matrix.
