Hong et al. describe a new transgene expression system, IQ-Switch, and its variants and characterize their applications in cell culture and zebrafish systems. They show that IQ-Switch system has several advantages over the previous inducible transgene expression switches, including the low toxicity, tunability of expression levels and low levels of gene silencing.
