Domesticated animal populations often show profound reductions in predator avoidance and fear-related behavior compared to wild populations. These reductions are remarkably consistent and have been observed in a diverse array of taxa including fish, birds, and mammals. Experiments conducted in common environments indicate that these behavioral differences have a genetic basis. In this study, we quantified differences in fear-related behavior between wild and domesticated zebrafish strains and used microarray analysis to identify genes that may be associated with this variation.

View SamplesIron-deficiency repsonses in Arabidopsis are controlled by several bHLH transcription factors. FIT, for example has been shown to direct iron-uptake responses. However, the role of shoot and root expressed genes bHLH100 and bHLH101 has not be clarified. We used microarray to study what genes might be miss-regulated in the double mutant bhlh100/bhlh101 background
Arabidopsis bHLH100 and bHLH101 control iron homeostasis via a FIT-independent pathway.

View SamplesWe wanted to understand at what level BTS acts, i.e. how upstream BTS acts and if BTS misregulation affets only a subset or multiple subsets of Fe regulated genes. We studied WT and bts-3 mutant roots.

View SamplesMLL1 translocations encode fusion proteins retaining the N-terminus of MLL1, which interacts with the tumor suppressor, menin. This interaction is essential for leukemogenesis, thus is a promising drug target. However, wild-type MLL1 plays a critical role in sustaining hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), therefore disruption of an essential MLL1 cofactor would be expected to obliterate normal hematopoiesis. Here we show that rather than working together as a complex, menin and MLL1 regulate distinct pathways during normal hematopoiesis, particularly in HSCs and B-cells. We demonstrate the lack of genetic interaction between menin and MLL1 in steady-state or regenerative hematopoiesis and in B-cell differentiation despite the fact that MLL1 is critical for these processes. In B-cells, menin- or MLL1-regulated genes can be classified into three categories: 1) a relatively small group of co-regulated genes including previously described targets Hoxa9 and Meis1 but also Mecom and Eya1, and much larger groups of 2) exclusively menin-regulated and 3) exclusively MLL1-regulated genes. Our results highlight the large degree of independence of these two proteins and demonstrate that menin is not a requisite cofactor for MLL1 during normal hematopoiesis. Furthermore, our data support the development of menin-MLL1 disrupting drugs as safe and selective leukemia targeting agents.
