Funded Activity Summary

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are cells in the embryo that can transform into any cell type. Genes that direct mouse ES cells to transform into cells of the nervous system will be uncovered by selecting a group of likely suspects, and disrupting the DNA sequences of these genes to see whether neural differentiation occurs normally in their absence. The effects of the gene disruptions will be examined in the developing neural system of the mouse embryo.
