ABSTRACT
There has been a rapid expansion in use of transgenic technologies in zebrafish. We report a novel example of trans-interactions of genetic elements, or transvection. This interaction led to a novel expression pattern and illustrates a precautionary example regarding use of transgenes in zebrafish.
