A Field Approach to 3D Gene Expression Pattern Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a vector field method for obtaining the spatial organization of 3D patterns of gene expression based on gradients and lines of force obtained by numerical integration. The convergence of these lines of force in local maxima are identified as centers of gene expression, providing a natural and powerful framework to characterize the organization and dynamics of biological structures. We apply this novel methodology to analyze the expression patterns of light chain myosin II protein linked to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) during zebrafish heart formation.

An Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro
CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...

متن کاملP-127: Characterization of Filia, A Maternal Effect Gene, in Bovine Oocytes and Embryos
Background: Genetic analysis in mice has lead to find about maternal effect genes such as Filia. Filia knock out mice have a 50% decrease in fertility. Filia dysfunction causes disorders in pre-implantation development. Mutations in human Filia gene, cause FBHM (Familial Biparental Hydatidiform Mole) in women. Filia protein in mice is homologous to that of rat and human, so this idea has emerge...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of the Synthetic Pathogen-Inducible Promoter (SynP-FF) in the Transgenic Canola in Response to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus which causes serious yield losses in canola. A pathogen inducible-promoter can facilitate the production of Sclerotinia-resistant transgenic canola plants. Inthis study, the “gain of function approach” was adopted for the construction of a pathogen-inducible promoter.The synthetic promoter technique was used, which involved the in...
متن کاملStudy of Expression Pattern of Some Transcription Factors in Wheat under Drought Stress and Zinc Nanoparticles
Under drought stress condition, the signaling system induces expression of certain genes to counteract the deleterious effects of environmental stress. Among the essential micronutrients for plant growth and development, zinc has an important role in many plant metabolic processes including gene expression and stress tolerance. In order to investigate the effect of drought stress and ZnO on r...
