pNP Transgenic RNAi System Manual in Drosophila
[Abstract] Much of our knowledge about the mechanisms underlying biological processes relies on genetic approaches, whereby gene activity is reduced and the phenotypic consequences of perturbation are analyzed in detail. For functional genomic studies, a specific, systematic, and cost-effective manner is critical. Transgenic RNAi system is the top priority ...
flySAM Transgenic CRISPRa System Manual
[Abstract] Powerful and general methods that can enhance gene expression are useful to systematically study gene function. To date, compared with the methods in generating loss-of-function mutants, methods to achieve gain-of-function are limited. The entire field in Drosophila has relied heavily on the Gal4/UAS:cDNA overexpression system developed ...
Generation of Stable Expression Mammalian Cell Lines Using Lentivirus
[Abstract] Lentiviruses are used very widely to generate stable expression mammalian cell lines. They are used for both gene down-regulation (by using shRNA) or for gene up-regulation (by using ORF of gene of interest). The technique of generating stable cell lines using 3rd generation lentivirus is very robust and it typically takes about 1-2 ...

[Abstract] Hypoxia is a condition in which there is a decrease in oxygen supply to the cellular environment. Changes to cellular oxygen levels can lead to transcriptional changes of oxygen-regulated genes. Reporter assays are used to study gene expression alteration and modifications in response to environmental changes. Dual-reporter assays allow the ...
