Figure 4

Partial loss of eye pigmentation.

(A) Despite the inactivation of three genes involved in pigmentation, the eye pigmentation did not differ between klara and wild-type fish. (B) Targeting the slc45a2 locus in wild-types resulted in a reduction of melanophores in the eye, but also on the whole body of injected embryos compared to wild-type controls. (C) A loss of melanophores in the retinal pigmented epithelium was observed in F₀ fish upon a microinjection of the sgRNA targeting slc45a2 in klara embryos. A silver-pigmented ring around the eye was still present. (ctrl: control; dpi: days post-injection; dph: days post-hatching).
