Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of transforming DNA: cloning the hamster aprt gene.
TL;DR: The hamster gene coding for the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (aprt) is isolated using gene transfer and molecular cloning of transforming DNA and sequences homologous to this clone are present in all hamster aprt+ transformants examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single gene encodes multiple neuropeptides mediating a stereotyped behavior
Richard H. Scheller,James F. Jackson,Linda B. McAllister,Barry S. Rothman,Earl Mayeri,Richard Axel +5 more
TL;DR: Two genes encoding the A and B peptides thought to initiate the egg-laying process, as well as a gene encoding ELH which directly mediates the behavioral array, which are representatives of a small multigene family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altering genotype and phenotype by DNA-mediated gene transfer
Angel Pellicer,Diane M. Robins,Barbara Wold,Ray Sweet,James F. Jackson,Israel Lowy,James M. Roberts,Gek Kee Sim,Saul Silverstein,Richard Axel +9 more
TL;DR: Transformation provides an in vivo assay for the functional role of DNA sequence organization about specific genes and may provide a general approach to the analysis of complex heritable phenotypes by permitting the distinction between phenotypic changes without concomitant changes in DNA and functional genetic rearrangements.
Journal ArticleDOI
A family of genes that codes for ELH, a neuropeptide eliciting a stereotyped pattern of behavior in Aplysia
Richard H. Scheller,James F. Jackson,Linda B. McAllister,James H. Schwartz,Eric R. Kandel,Richard Axel +5 more
TL;DR: A particularly advantageous experimental system for studying gene structure, expression and modulation in the nervous system in the marine mollusc Aplysia, where the bag cells, two discrete clusters of neurons, secrete a peptide of known behavioral function, and cloned the genes encoding ELH.
