To determine the functional relevance of circadian Fabp7 expression in memory consolidation
(2007)Fatty-acid binding protein 7 (Fabp7) is closely related to sleep/wake cycle and regulated in a circadian pattern. To investigate whether the expression affects learning and memory behavior, we used the Drosophila model. ... -
Transgenic zebrafish that carry inducible zic2a fusion proteins
(2007)Zic genes encode proteins that contain zinc fingers used to bind DNA and modify transcription of target genes. Several zic genes have been identified that are critical in regulating nervous system development in a wide ... -
Transmission ratio distortion in the hybrid offspring of three mouse subspecies
(2010)A crucial component of understanding the origin or new species is understanding how reproductive isolation evolves between divergent populations. The relative importance of Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities as compared ... -
A ts-paralytic neurodegeneration mutant in Drosophila reveals differential requirement for the glycolytic gene Aldolase in neurons and glia
(2011)Several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease have been linked to metabolic disruption in neurons. This suggests that neurons are particularly ... -
Validation of Optical Structural Alterations in Two Oligodendroglioma Tumors
(2011)Many large- and small-scale changes occur in the genomes of tumor cells. The optical mapping system was used previously to discover structural variations (OSAs; Optical Structural Alterations) in tumor genomes. OSAs are ...
