New genetic resources for mammalian developmental biologists
The utilization of homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells as a means to generate mice carrying pre-determined modifications of genomic sequences has revolutionized the study of developmental biology. Recognizing the potential efficiencies that can be obtained by high-throughput production at centralized technology centers, a number of large-scale efforts for generating mice with targe...
متن کاملLeaving the lab: career development for developmental biologists.
Let's face it: not all PhD students and postdocs will become lab heads. Every few years, the National Science Foundation surveys doctorate recipients in the USA about their career progression, and their latest published data (collected in 2006) show that only about one quarter of biomedical science PhDs held tenured or tenure-track positions (see Box 1). If graduate and postdoctoral training ar...
متن کاملThe Hydra genome: insights, puzzles and opportunities for developmental biologists.
The sequencing of a Hydra genome marked the beginning of a new era in the use of Hydra as a developmental model. Analysis of the genome sequence has led to a number of interesting findings, has required revisiting of previous work, and most importantly presents new opportunities for understanding the developmental biology of Hydra. This review will de-scribe the history of the Hydra genome proj...
متن کاملMetagenomics for mining new genetic resources of microbial communities.
Recent progress has revealed that the capture of genetic resources of complex microbial communities in metagenome libraries allows the discovery of a richness of new enzymatic diversity that had not previously been imagined. Activity-based screening of such libraries has demonstrated that this new diversity is not simply variations on known sequence themes, but rather the existence of entirely ...
متن کاملInternational Society of Developmental Biologists (ISDB) 2007 Interim Report
The International Society of Developmental Biologists (ISDB) has continued to support a range of activities in 2007, with a particular emphasis on under-represented or under-funded regions of the world. The ISDB’s activities are made possible by the generous support of Elsevier and the journal Mechanisms of Development (MOD). Publishing your best work in MOD ensures the journal’s continued supp...
