Project description:To obtain a quick glimpse into possible function of five novel Notopthalmus viridescens (newt) genes (and given certain restrains with transgenic newts, such as time) we express these genes using transgenic Drosophila melanogaster. We generated the transgenic flies containing newt candidate genes, and prepared samples for RNA sequencing to evaluate the overall role of candidate genes in tissue development and layout map for future studies.
