Abstract
We have established a reverse genetics approach for the routine generation of medaka ( Oryzias latipes) gene knockouts. A cryopreserved library of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea ( ENU) mutagenized fish was screened by high-throughput resequencing for induced point mutations. Nonsense and splice site mutations were retrieved for the Blm, Sirt1, Parkin and p53 genes and functional characterization of p53 mutants indicated a complete knockout of p53 function. The current cryopreserved resource is expected to contain knockouts for most medaka genes.
