Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of the Fto gene protects from obesity

TL;DR: These experiments provide the first direct demonstration that Fto is functionally involved in energy homeostasis by the control of energy expenditure, and leads to postnatal growth retardation and a significant reduction in adipose tissue and lean body mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Easy identification of cDNA clones.

TL;DR: A set of six cloning vectors, pUR 278, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292 is presented and a simple immunoenzymatic assay can be used to identify clones in such a cDNA library.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence of the lacZ gene of Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of the lacZ gene coding for beta‐galactosidase in Escherichia coli has been determined and the protein sequence was shown to be essentially correct.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fat mass and obesity associated gene (Fto) regulates activity of the dopaminergic midbrain circuitry

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inactivation of the Fto gene, encoding a nucleic acid demethylase, impairs dopamine receptor type 2 (D2R) and type 3 (D3R) (collectively, 'D2-like receptor')-dependent control of neuronal activity and behavioral responses.
