Comprehensive metabolic profiling and phenotyping of interspecific introgression lines for tomato improvement

Article Abstract:

Tomato introgression lines (ILs) containing chromosome segments of a wild species is phenotyped in the genetic background of a cultivated variety to identify components of fruit metabolic composition. A cartographic network is generated based on correlation analysis that reveals whole-plant phenotype associated and independent metabolic associations, including links with metabolites of nutritional and organoleptic importance.

Telomerase immortalization of neuronally restricted progenitor cells derived from the human fetal spinal cord

Article Abstract:

Retroviral overexpression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is used for immortalizing progenitors from human fetal spinal cord. It is seen that the overexpression of the hTERT results in the generation of progenitor lines that are capable of producing phenotypically restricted neurons.

Laser surgery for mouse geneticists

Article Abstract:

A rapid, new approach is described that has the potential to greatly increase the speed and efficiency of phenotyping mice made from embryonic stem (ES) cells. The laser surgery method might meet the growing need for cost-effective approaches to breeding, phenotyping and maintaining mice.
