Purpose The Sanger Mouse Genetics Programme (MGP) aims to make a significant impact on our understanding of the function of genes and their role in disease by generating, characterising and archiving in the order of 200 lines of knockout mice per year, including 40 lines as part of the EUMODIC consortium. The phenotyping screens employed include a wide range of assays relevant to key disease areas including diabetes, obesity, hearing and vision disorders, immune disorders, pain and motor… Expand

Identification and Validation of DLG2 as a Novel Tumor Suppressor in Osteosarcoma
TLDR
By leveraging biological conversation across species, DLG2 is identified as a novel tumor suppressor in OS and can be widely applied to other human cancers, offering an approach to shortlist potential candidate genes within large chromosomal altered regions, and prioritize their functional validation. Expand
Molecular genetic investigation of medullary thyroid cancer
TLDR
A novel method of gene predisposition identification in the context of MTC is established and the on-going functional work may elucidate targets for novel therapies that may include pre-existing anti-oestrogen. Expand
Analysis of Dip2B Expression in Adult Mouse Tissues Using the LacZ Reporter Gene.
Disconnected (disco)-interacting protein 2 homolog B (Dip2B) is a member of the Dip2 superfamily and plays an essential role in axonal outgrowth during embryogenesis. In adults, Dip2B is highly… Expand
Molecular and Biological Aspects of Microcephalin Gene: Directions in Brain Tumor and Methylation
TLDR
This chapter provides a brief literature of the investigations carried out on the role of MCPH1 gene alterations in various types of cancer and some other diseases and the methylation data of the very recent research together with protein expression in brain tumors are provided. Expand
Genome-wide association study reveals genetic loci and candidate genes for average daily gain in Duroc pigs
TLDR
This study contributes to the identification of the casual mutation that underlies QTLs associated with ADG and to future pig breeding programs based on marker-assisted selection. Expand
Dynamic comparisons of high-resolution expression profiles highlighting mitochondria-related genes between in vivo and in vitro fertilized early mouse embryos.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that some mitochondrial dysfunctions in IVF embryos, including impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, dysregulated GSH homeostasis and reactive oxygen species-induced apoptosis, can be rescued by treatment with melatonin, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, during in vitro culture. Expand
SLC41A1, SLC41A3 and CNNM2: Magnesium responsive genes with potential involvement in human ailments
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex multifactorial ailment predetermined by the interplay of various environmental and genetic factors. Systemic and intracellular magnesium (Mg) deficiency has long… Expand
Mammalian phospholipase D: Function, and therapeutics.
TLDR
Technological advances are facilitating increased recognition of PLD's role in disease states including cancers and Alzheimer's disease, offering potential as a target for therapeutic intervention. Expand

TLDR
Based on findings to date, PLD1/2 inhibition may be of more utility in acute rather than chronic settings, although this generalization will depend on the specific risks and benefits in each disease setting. Expand
Cilia gene mutations cause atrioventricular septal defects by multiple mechanisms.
TLDR
A model that predicts the phenotypic concordance between AVSDs and heterotaxy in mice and humans with cilia gene mutations is provided and a two-step model of cilia action accurately predicted the AVSD/heterotaxyu phenotypesic expression pattern caused by cilia genes mutations. Expand
