Stable transgenesis in <scp> <i>Astyanax mexicanus</i> </scp> using the <i>Tol2</i> transposase system

Abstract

The lines provide proof-of-principle for the application of Tol2 transgenic technology in A. mexicanus. Expansion on these initial transgenic lines will provide a platform to address broadly important problems in the quest to bridge the genotype-phenotype gap.
