چکیده
The NCBI provides a set of maps that show chromosomal regions homologous between mouse and human. This resource can be accessed directly at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Homol-ogy/. For this example using a known, mapped human gene, however, it is easier to start the search from the LocusLink entry for tyrosinase. The LocusLink 10 query page can be found at Human from the Organism pull-down menu, enter 'tyrosinase' into the Query box and click Go. To view the entry for tyrosinase (TYR), click on its LocusLink ID, 7299. On the resulting page (Fig. 12.1), links to the mouse homology maps are in the section of the LocusLink summary page marked Relationships. In this case, there are four maps available for TYR showing mouse alignments: NCBI vs MGD aligns the current NCBI assembly of the human genome with the MGD (Mouse Genome Database 21 , at The Jackson Laboratory) genetic map, UCSC vs. MGD aligns the current UCSC genome assembly with the MGD genetic map, NCBI vs. EST-based RH Map aligns the NCBI assembly with the Whitehead–MRC RH map, and UCSC vs. Hudson et al. aligns the 7 October 2001 UCSC assembly with the Whitehead–MRC RH Map 22. The Hs and Mm links adjacent to each map name show the mouse–human homology map with the master chromosome as human or mouse, respectively. Click on the Hs link next to the NCBI vs. MGD map. The resulting mouse–human map shows the mouse genes that are the likely orthologs of human genes on human chromosome 11 (Fig. 12.2). Depending on the browser being used, one may have to click the View as text box to obtain the output; the resulting output will appear in text format, slightly different from what is shown in Fig. 12.2. Chromosomal locations of the mouse genes are shown, where known. The green circles link to the UniSTS entry for each locus; those on the left link to the human UniSTS entry, whereas those on the right link to the mouse UniSTS entry. The cytogenetic positions are hyperlinked to either the human or mouse Map Viewer, as appropriate. Gene symbols are linked to LocusLink 10. The tyrosinase gene, highlighted in pink, maps to mouse chromosome 7 at 44 cM, a piece of information that will be needed in the next step. The mouse models themselves are described at the Mouse Genome Informatics site at the Jackson Laboratory. Go to the Mouse Genome Informatics …

Establishment, Culture and Freezing of Human and Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells: a Protocol Guide
Studies of the biology of human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) have developed rapidly over the past nine years since the first reports of their derivation. They clearly offer enormous potential, not only for regenerative medicine, but also for drug discovery and toxicology, human developmental biology and cancer research. Realizing these potentials a better understanding of the fundamental as...
متن کاملExtract of mouse embryonic stem cells induces the expression of pluripotency genes in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells
Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...
متن کاملHow Does Inflow of FDI Affect Economic Growth in East Asia?
In this paper, we address the question that does FDI alone affect economic growth or interaction of FDI and human capital is required to boost economic growth. We develop the model with an expanding variety of products. We estimate the model using some advanced tests utilizing data on FDI flows from developed countries. We find stronger complementary effects between FDI and human capital on the...

متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...
