Electroporation-mediated somatic transgenesis for rapid functional analysis in insects.
Transgenesis is a powerful technique for determining gene function; however, it is time-consuming. It is virtually impossible to carry out in non-model insects in which egg manipulation and screening are difficult. We have established a rapid genetic functional analysis system for non-model insects using a low-cost electroporator (costing under US$200) designed for somatic transformation with t...
متن کاملThe origin of the avian germ line and transgenesis in birds.
The origin of the germ cell lineage in vertebrates is a fundamental question that has preoccupied developmental biologists. Recent work on the origin of the avian germ line has extended and clarified our understanding of the temporal and spatial segregation of primordial germ cells (PGC) during prestreak stages of development. The germ cells first appear at Stage X (Eyal-Giladi and Kochav, 1976...
متن کاملPotential of primary kidney cells for somatic cell nuclear transfer mediated transgenesis in pig
BACKGROUND Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is currently the most efficient and precise method to generate genetically tailored pig models for biomedical research. However, the efficiency of this approach is crucially dependent on the source of nuclear donor cells. In this study, we evaluate the potential of primary porcine kidney cells (PKCs) as cell source for SCNT, including their prolif...
متن کاملAdoption of the Q transcriptional regulatory system for zebrafish transgenesis.
The Gal4-UAS regulatory system of yeast is widely used to modulate gene expression in Drosophila; however, there are limitations to its usefulness in transgenic zebrafish, owing to progressive methylation and silencing of the CpG-rich multicopy upstream activation sequence. Although a modified, less repetitive UAS construct may overcome this problem, it is highly desirable to have additional tr...
متن کاملThe Avian Proghrelin System
To understand how the proghrelin system functions in regulating growth hormone release and food intake as well as defining its pleiotropic roles in such diverse physiological processes as energy homeostasis, gastrointestinal tract function and reproduction require detailed knowledge of the structure and function of the components that comprise this system. These include the preproghrelin gene t...
