Foxj1 has been found to play an important role in cilia formation and function in vertebrates. The zebrafish or Xenopus genome expresses two Foxjl genes, foxjlalFoxJ1 and foxjlb/FoxJ1.2. In this study, we have generat...
Transposable elements have been utilized as mutagens to create mutant libraries for functional genomics. Isolation of genomic segments flanking the insertion Mutator (Mu) is a key step in insertion mutagenesis studi...
