    • ALS-causative mutations in FUS/TLS confer gain- and loss-of-function by altered association with SMN and U1-snRNP 

      Sun, Shuying; Ling, Shuo-Chien; Qiu, Jinsong; Albuquerque, Claudio P.; Zhou, Yu; Tokunaga, Seiya; Li, Hairi; Qiu, Haiyan; Bui, Anh; Yeo, Gene W.; Huang, Eric J.; Eggan, Kevin; Zhou, Huilin; Fu, Xiang-Dong; Lagier-Tourenne, Clotilde; Cleveland, Don W. (2015)
      The RNA-binding protein FUS/TLS, mutation in which is causative of the fatal motor neuron disease ALS, is demonstrated to directly bind to the U1-snRNP and SMN complexes. ALS-causative mutations in FUS/TLS are shown to ...
    • A Transient Transgenic RNAi Strategy for Rapid Characterization of Gene Function during Embryonic Development 

      Bjork, Bryan Cary; Fujiwara, Yuko; Davis, Shannon W.; Qiu, Haiyan; Saunders, Thomas L.; Sandy, Peter; Orkin, Stuart Holland; Camper, Sally A.; Beier, David Randolph (Public Library of Science, 2010)
      RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful strategy for studying the phenotypic consequences of reduced gene expression levels in model systems. To develop a method for the rapid characterization of the developmental consequences ...
