U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Molecular Genetic Analysis of Normal and Mutant Visual System Development Studied with 3-D Time Lapse Microscopy

这是卡内基梅隆大学生物科学系John Pollock教授和墨尔本大学遗传学系Philip Batterham教授的合作研究项目，重点研究果蝇正常和突变视觉系统发育的分子遗传学分析。美国和澳大利亚的研究人员及其实验室为这项研究提供了互补的专业知识：波洛克实验室的图像分析和组织培养，以及巴特汉姆实验室的分子和遗传专业知识。这项研究计划涉及多方面的研究，研究菱形位点在发育中的眼睛细胞的逐渐募集和分化中所起的作用。这项研究将进一步了解眼睛是如何发育的，以及含片是如何影响嗅觉和味觉发育的。它还将为在国际环境中培训年轻研究人员提供一个平台。

9731607 Pollock This cooperative research project between Professor John Pollock, Department of Biological Sciences, Carnegie-Mellon University, and Professor Philip Batterham, Department of Genetics, University of Melbourne, focuses on the molecular genetic analysis of normal and mutant visual system development of Drosophila melanogaster. The U.S. and Australian researchers and their laboratories bring complementary expertise to this study: image analysis and tissue culture in Pollock's laboratory, and molecular and genetic expertise in Batterham's laboratory. The research plan involves a multifaceted attack on the role of played by the lozenge locus in the progressive recruitment and differentiation of cells in the developing eye. This research should provide further understanding of how eyes develop and also how lozenge influences the development of smell and taste. It will also provide a platform for the training of young researchers in an international setting.
