“We found that there was an interesting change in mammoths and also an interesting change in the mouse version of these genes that led to a predictable phenotype. This was the sweet spot, and to test ...

Regions of mouse DNA can be changed so they resemble genes in other ... this shows that we have some way to go to fully understand the causal relationship between genes and phenotype—the visible ...

Because newly weaned Cftr –/– mice are weak, solid chow was soaked with laxative during the first week after weaning. Subsequently, part of these animals were followed-up for a longer period ...

Rationale.The central nervous system (CNS) is the most complex structure of the animal organism both in terms of its development and function. CNS phenotyping requires special skills and equipment, ...

The Ca2+ stored in the cellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a crucial role in protein folding and lipid transfer, and its impairment leads to cellular ER stress. When chronic cellular ER stress ...

A radical new theory rewrites the story of how life on Earth began “The work done on these mice does not mean that there is a ready solution to bring back a mammoth phenotype,” says team ...
