Reverse genetics tools in zebrafish: a forward dive into endocrinology.
The zebrafish is a powerful genetic model organism. In recent years, zebrafish has been increasingly used to model human diseases. Due to a number of recent technological advancements, the genetic tool box is now also stocked with sophisticated transgenic and reverse genetic tools. Here, we focus on both commonly used and recently established reverse genetic and transgenic tools available in ze...
متن کاملReverse genetics in zebrafish.
The zebrafish has become a popular model system for the study of vertebrate developmental biology because of its numerous strengths as a molecular genetic and embryological system. To determine the requirement for specific genes during embryogenesis, it is necessary to generate organisms carrying loss-of-function mutations. This can be accomplished in zebrafish through a reverse genetic approac...
متن کاملGenetic defects of pronephric cilia in zebrafish
Cilia play key roles in many aspects of embryogenesis and adult physiology in vertebrates. Past genetic screens in zebrafish identified numerous defects of ciliogenesis, including several mutations in the components of the intraflagellar transport machinery. In contrast to previous studies, here we describe a collection of mutants that affect subpopulations of cilia. Mutant embryos are characte...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملForward and Reverse Genetics in Crop Breeding
The ability to identify, study, create and utilize genetic variation are arguably fundamental aspects in the development of human beings. Traditional, or forward , genetics has its roots in man’s fi rst attempts at the domestication of plants and animals. Novel and preferred traits such as the lack of seed shattering were selected from large populations and maintained for future propagation, le...
