Deep Sequencing of ESTs from Nacreous and Prismatic Layer Producing Tissues and a Screen for Novel Shell Formation-Related Genes in the Pearl Oyster
Background Despite its economic importance, we have a limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying shell formation in pearl oysters, wherein the calcium carbonate crystals, nacre and… Expand

Dual Roles of Notch in Regulation of Apically Restricted Mitosis and Apicobasal Polarity of Neuroepithelial Cells
How the mitosis of neuroepithelial stem cells is restricted to the apical ventricular area remains unclear. In zebrafish, the mosaic eyes(rw306) (moe/epb41l5(rw306)) mutation disrupts the interaction… Expand

The occurrence of two types of hemopexin-like protein in medaka and differences in their affinity to heme
SUMMARY Full-length cDNA clones encoding two types of hemopexin-like protein, mWap65-1 and mWap65-2, were isolated from the HNI inbred line of medaka Oryzias latipes. The deduced amino acid sequence… Expand

Calorie restriction‐induced maternal longevity is transmitted to their daughters in a rotifer
Summary 1 Extension of life span by food shortage, often mimicked by calorie restriction (CR) in the laboratory, is one of the most common life-history alterations in eukaryotes. Although the… Expand
