abstract：:Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) is a natural toxin produced by cyanobacterial blooms that causes severe liver damage in fish. It is crucial to investigate if housekeeping genes are affected by MC-LR in zebrafish, to permit the adequate evaluation of gene expression by RT-qPCR. We evaluated the gene expression sta...

To maintain the transparency of embryos, however, drugs, such as 1-pheyl-2-thiourea (PTU) must be added, or researchers can use mutants that do not develop pigment (e.g., the casper)....
