We have released a new batch of functional annotations (v11): 600 entries from previous publications investigating the function of AS events. This makes a total of 3637 entries directly from publications, 397 from CRISPR screens and 1511 from experimentally validated ELMs.

We also implemented a new method for primary neuronal culture and neurite length quantification from FACSorted HuC+ neurons. With this method we also identified microexons whose deletion leads to decreased (vav2) or increased (evi5b, itsn1) neurite lengths. 7/9

In contrast to the strong phenotypes observed for their master regulator srrm3, most microexon mutants showed no phenotypes for most tests, with a few notable exceptions. E.g., vti1 and kif1b KOs showed social defects, yet far from those of the srrm3 mutant (blind) fish. 6/9

We phenotypically characterized these microexon KO lines, along with those for srrm3 and srrm4, across multiple organization levels, including axon guidance, neurite growth, larval and juvenile locomotion, larval sensory responses, and social behavior in juveniles. 5/9

To tackle this major open question, common to other tissue-specific splicing regulators, we generated CRISPR-Cas9 deletion mutants in zebrafish for 18 conserved neural-specific microexons regulated by srrm3/4, as well for srrm3 and srrm4. 4/9
