We summarized our findings in this illustration (Credit: Mandy Root-Thompson) depicting zebrafish models to understand the fusion oncogene’s earliest activities, including invading closed DNA (TAAT wrapped around pebbles) or open DNA (GATTACA in plants) to activate neural programs.
Kucinski et al developed in vivo zebrafish systems to study how an oncogenic transcription factor drives an aggressive pediatric cancer. This supported understanding the oncogene’s earliest activities, where it uses different binding modes to bind silent genes and then activate them. These findings are depicted by zebrafish invading closed DNA (TAAT wrapped around pebbles) or open DNA (GATTACA in plants). Overall, studying early oncogenic activities in a dynamic developmental context reveals critical mechanisms for transformation.

Genevieve Kendall, PhD @kendalllab.bsky.social · 25/07/2025
We found that PAX3::FOXO1 invades inaccessible chromatin and induces neural programs as one of its earliest activities. We hope to leverage these new models to find actionable targets for children with rhabdomyosarcoma.
