Manipulation of gene expression in zebrafish using caged circular morpholino oligomers

Morpholino oligomers (MOs) have been widely used to knock down specific genes in zebrafish, but their constitutive activities limit their experimental applications for studying a gene with multiple functions or within a gene network. We report herein a new design and synthesis of caged circular MOs...

description Morpholino oligomers (MOs) have been widely used to knock down specific genes in zebrafish, but their constitutive activities limit their experimental applications for studying a gene with multiple functions or within a gene network. We report herein a new design and synthesis of caged circular MOs (caged cMOs) with two ends linked by a photocleavable moiety. These caged cMOs were successfully used to photomodulate β-catenin-2 and no tail expression in zebrafish embryos.
