Journal ArticleDOI

Functional annotation of a full-length mouse cDNA collection

Jun Kawai, +96 more
- 08 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: The first RIKEN clone collection is described, which is one of the largest described for any organism and analysis of these cDNAs extends known gene families and identifies new ones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genes and ligands for odorant, vomeronasal and taste receptors

TL;DR: In this article, a targeted expression of the green fluorescent protein in chemosensory cells is proposed to characterize receptor-ligand interactions, which is a promising approach to achieve this objective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective deletion of leptin receptor in neurons leads to obesity

TL;DR: The data suggest that the brain is a direct target for the weight-reducing and neuroendocrine effects of leptin and that the liver abnormalities of db/db mice are secondary to defective leptin signaling in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice cloned from embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that late-passage ES cells can be used to produce viable cloned mice and provide a link between the technologies of ES cells and animal cloning, suggesting that it may be possible to clone from a single cell a large number of individuals over an extended period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seven-Transmembrane Proteins as Odorant and Chemosensory Receptors

TL;DR: Genetic manipulation experiments in mice imply that vertebrate odorant receptors may fulfill a dual role, also serving as address molecules that guide axons of olfactory sensory neurons to their precise target in the brain.
