Here, we present a systematic approach for developing physiologically relevant, sensitive and specific in vivo assays for interpreting variation in human pathology. Transient genetic manipulation via microinjection of WT and mutant human mRNA and morpholino (MO) antisense oligonucleotides harness the tractability of the developing zebrafish embryo to rapidly assay pathogenic mutations, especially, but not exclusively, in the context of human developmental...

This protocol outlines a methodology for recapitulating Down syndrome (DS) impaired neurogenesis using DS human iPSCs. The protocol identified biphasic cell cycle defect as the cause of impaired neurogenesis in Down syndrome. It provides a robust platform for understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the abnormal neurogenesis associated with DS.
