PhotoGal4: A Versatile Light-Dependent Switch for Spatiotemporal Control of Gene Expression in Drosophila Explants

Summary: We present here PhotoGal4, a phytochrome B-based optogenetic switch for fine-tuned spatiotemporal control of gene expression in Drosophila explants.This switch integrates the light-dependent interaction between phytochrome Jackets/Outerwear B and PIF6 from plants with regulatory elements from the yeast Gal4/UAS system.We found that PhotoGa

A SNP Genotyping Array for Hexaploid Oat

Recognizing a need in cultivated hexaploid oat ( LEGGINGS L.) for a reliable set of reference single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we have developed a 6000 (6K) BeadChip design containing 257 Infinium I and 5486 Infinium II designs corresponding to 5743 SNPs.Of those, 4975 SNPs yielded successful assays after array manufacturing.These SNPs were
