In this final installment, I'll provide a brief introduction as to how you can engineer new transgenic flies to study your favorite gene (YFG). (blog.addgene.org)
The study, published in Human Molecular Genetics, has shown that the majority of genes associated with Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) in humans are also pivotal in Drosophila renal function, validating transgenic flies as accurate pre-clinical models. (frontlinegenomics.com)
Transgenic Fly Lab (LS.1 j; LS.13 f; LS.14 a; BIO.5 j) This virtual lab allows students to create transgenic organisms using a animal model, a fruit fly, to study circadian rhythms. (doe.virginia.gov)
