Exploring differential gene expression in zebrafish to teach basic molecular biology skills.

abstract：:Spatiotemporal regulation of DNA replication in the S-phase nucleus has been extensively studied in mammalian cells because it is tightly coupled with the regulation of other nuclear processes such as transcription. However, little is known about the replication dynamics in nonmammalian cells. Here, we analyzed the DN...

We found abundant wild zebrafish in flowing rivers and still water, in large, tightly-knit groups of hundreds of individuals, as well as in small, loose shoals. In two still-water populations, zebrafish were quite small in body size, common, and in tight groups of up to...

On the one hand, the development of research tools in mammalian genetics such as mouse strains with high incidence of cancer in 1920-1930s led to discovery of the mouse mammary tumor virus in 1949. This virus in turn was used in 1982 to identify int-1 (Wnt1) i...
