(A) The relative position of lnc-setd1ba and the protein-coding gene setd1ba. The gene deletion region is marked by dashed red line. Arrows flanking black dotted line mark the primer-binding sites for qRT-PCR product. (B) Maternal and zygotic lnc-setd1ba mutants were not different from wild-type embryos at 1-dpf. (C) Representative images of in situ hybridization for lnc-setd1ba at four- to eight-cell stage mutant (18/18) and wild-type (25/25) embryos. (D) In situ hybridization for the protein-coding mRNA, setd1ba (9/11) in lnc-setd1ba mutants compared to the wild-type embryos (15/15). (E) qRT-PCR at 1 cell stage and 1-dpf for the lncRNA and its neighboring genes rhoF and setd1ba. The statistical significance of the observed changes was determined using t-test analysis and represented by star marks (ns, *, **, ***, and **** respectively mark p-values≥0.05,<0.05,<0.01,<0.001 and<0.0001).
