We generated a CRISPR/Cas9-based  knock-in at the th locus to express the Q-system transcription factor QF2 in zebrafish dopaminergic neurons, and identify previously not described neuron groups. The QF2 driver line is an important tool for genetic and optogenetic manipulation dopaminergic neurons.
