My 'The zebrafish as a model system for analyzing mammalian and native α-crystallin promoter function' article was published 1 year ago today in #OpenAccess journal @thePeerJ https://t.co/hHTvIfcW9j
My article 'The zebrafish as a model system for analyzing mammalian and native α-crystallin promoter function' was one of the top 5 most viewed #DevBio #MolecularBiology #Neuroscience and #Ophthalmology articles published in @thePeerJ journal in 2017!
The small heat shock protein alpha B-crystallin is duplicated in #zebrafish. Our new @thePeerJ paper shows that expression for both copies is very low through 5 dpf (https://t.co/8dXO90PG4v). Nice confirmation from White et al. https://t.co/4zg2OTtA9A. No aBa expression detected. https://t.co/Tu0EUE8G4u
How do we know that #zebrafish eye lenses can model the development of a mammal lens? Mouse and zebrafish alpha A-crystallin genes have conserved chromosome arrangement and both gene's promoters can drive #GFP expression in the zebrafish lens. https://t.co/8dXO90PG4v https://t.co/MEu9l28kSp
Great to see over 1500 views this first week for our new @thePeerJ paper examining the function of #zebrafish alpha #crystallin promoters. We also show that mouse promoters can be analyzed in zebrafish embryos. https://t.co/8dXO90PG4v #lens #qPCR #GFP
All Ct values for our new qPCR analysis of #zebrafish alpha #crystallin expression during development are available as supplemental data with our @thePeerJ paper. Let us know if we messed up the analysis. #openscience https://t.co/8dXO90PG4v https://t.co/waZL7g0g2V
In our new @thePeerJ paper we show that the promoter for #zebrafish alpha Bb #crystallin drives GFP expression in skeletal muscle and notochord. Here is a video render from #confocal microscopy of the notochord. https://t.co/tAaV2RIDHu https://t.co/8dXO90PG4v
The alpha #crystallin #zebrafish promoters used in our new @thePeerJ paper are deposited with @Addgene https://t.co/8dXO90PG4v https://t.co/lpEE7kqGzc #openscience https://t.co/rjt8COU3gY
