WEBFeb 28, 2024 · A paper in Nature suggests that a primate-specific transposable element inserted into the TBXT gene, which controls tail development, could have contributed to the tailless phenotype of apes. The...
Humans Don't Walk Around With Tails Likely Because of This …
WEBMar 4, 2024 · Testing their identification, the team then inserted this mutation into developing mice before their births with CRISPR technology to see whether it would impact their tails. Born tailless, the modified mice suggest that the TBXT mutation was one of the genetic tweaks behind taillessness.
Role of the nuclear receptor Tailless in adult neural stem cells
WEBJun 1, 2013 · Tailless (Tlx) is an orphan nuclear receptor which is specifically expressed in the neural stem cells of the two largest germinal neurogenesis zones in the adult mouse brain, the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus.
A Tale of Tailless - PMC - National Center for Biotechnology …
WEBDec 2, 2010 · In the first 15 years, thanks to the in vivo research conducted in both Drosophila and the mouse, it became clear that invertebrate and vertebrate Tailless proteins share substantial similarities. The resemblance is apparent not only in their protein structures, expression patterns, and the recruitment of conserved transcriptional cofactors and ...
The contribution of the mouse tail to thermoregulation is modest
WEBAug 8, 2020 · Major heat stress produced by treatment at 30°C with CL316243, a β3-adrenergic agonist, increased metabolic rate and Tb and, at a matched increase in metabolic rate, the tailless mice showed a 0.72 ± 0.14°C greater Tb increase and 7.6% lower whole body heat conductance.
How our “junk DNA” led to humans being tailless - Freethink
WEBMar 10, 2024 · A CRISPR study reveals that two Alu elements in a gene linked to tail development caused taillessness in humans and apes. The study also suggests a possible trade-off between tail loss and neural tube defects.
The mouse homolog of the orphan nuclear receptor tailless is …
WEBMar 1, 1995 · To identify a potential upstream gene of HNF-3β or En1 in mice, we have screened for the mouse tailless homolog. We show that this gene is specifically expressed in the developing telencephalon and dorsal midbrain.
Defective limbic system in mice lacking the tailless gene
WEBDec 4, 1997 · Homozygous mutant mice are viable at birth, indicating that tailless is not required for prenatal survival; however, adult mutant mice show a reduction in the size of rhinencephalic and...
