TransTag enables simple and efficient transgene mapping in zebrafish via tagmentation.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Zebrafish has become a preeminent model for developmental biology research, largely due to the ease of transgenesis. Despite widespread usage of transgenic lines, mapping of transgene insertion sites is rare, which raises complications involving potential local chromatin influences on transgene expression, off-target effects, and issues with allelic variation. To address these shortcomings, we introduce TransTag, a simple and efficient method utilizing Tn5 transposase-mediated tagmentation, for the streamlined identification of Tol2-based transgene insertion sites in zebrafish. TransTag is straightforward to perform and can identify insertion sites without the need for the alignment of raw sequencing data. We also provide a detailed protocol for TransTag, a step-by-step guide for data analysis, and a user-friendly Shiny app, making transgene mapping achievable at a low cost for researchers without programming expertise. Altogether, TransTag emerges as a valuable tool to enhance the precision and utility of transgenesis studies by providing essential chromosome-specific information on transgene locations.
