Data analysis and verification of 4tU-labeled mRNA isolated from adult zebrafish brain. a Distribution plot showing the log fold change of individual reads compared to the mean expression using DESeq2. The red dots indicate significantly enriched or depleted genes (padj < 0.1). Some labeled enriched or depleted genes were analyzed for their expression pattern (see d). b List of the most-enriched genes (green) and (c) most depleted genes (blue) and their log2-fold change compared to total mRNA expression levels. Asterisks mark genes used for expression studies. d Cross sections of transgenic adult zebrafish brains labeled with HA labeling (a, f, k, n) or in situ probes of enriched genes (b-e, g-j, l, m green bar) as indicated on each image. j’^a-c and j” are higher magnifications of boxes shown in j and j’, respectively. j’^b and j’^c show cyp26a1 in situ hybridization and HA IHC labeling, respectively. j’^a and j” show cyp26a1 in situ hybridization and HA IHC labeling. Expression of depleted genes (p,q, blue bar).
