Today I’m headed to Mongolia 🇲🇳 for @racingtheplanet Gobi March multistage ultramarathon. 250 km over 7 days. This is my 2nd time doing this race. I’m looking forward to returning to the Mongolian countryside.

@rrbehringer I attended the Mouse Development and Cancer Summer Course in 2012 @CSHL , and it was one of the most inspiring and educational experiences of my career.

[Richard Behringer @rrbehringer]

I’m visiting the world famous “mouse” course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The students were hard at work this afternoon, learning about mammalian genetics and development.

✨Rare model organisms can teach us how to build a body differently. In snail embryos blastomeres can be as big as the rest of the embryo! 🐌Phrontis vibex blastula stained for tubulin (gray), phalloidin (blue) and histone (magenta). 🔬

「転写STOPカセット/（LoxP-STOP-LoxP: LSLなど）」単独の限界

Creが存在しない状態では「転写STOPカセット」を挿入しておけば遺伝子発現は完全に防げると信じられており、多くの論文で使用されている。しかし実際には、それ単独ではRNAポリメラーゼのリードスルー（読み過ごし）を完全に防ぐことはできず、有意な発現の漏出が起こる

転写レベルの制御（STOPカセット）に加えて、翻訳レベルでの制御を組み合わせる（Dual control）ことで、この発現の漏れをバックグラウンドレベルまで劇的に抑制することが可能

Cre-loxPシステムだけでなく、Flp-FRTシステムやDre-roxシステムなど、他の相同組換え技術においても同様の深刻な漏出が起きていないか、またこの二重制御アプローチがそのまま有効に機能するかどうかの検証が必要

What can we learn from butterflies? 🦋
Butterfly models help us uncover how genes shape form, revealing the mechanisms behind pattern formation, cell fate decisions, and morphogenesis. #ModelMonday #DevBio #EvoDevo 🧬 📸 Photo by Ignacio Vazquez on Pexels
