Science Fair Project Idea

... from which mouse gets which of the three chemicals. I would also try and implement some sort of sensory detail for the mice to associate with the doses like maybe a citrus aerosol spray or a specific music track. After two or three weeks, or whatever time period at which they would be dependant ...

Re: splicing MO vs translation MO

The oligos do appear to potentiate one another, suggesting they are interacting with the same target RNA. Your doses of individual oligos in the coinjection experiment (0.5ng ATG MO together with 2.5ng UTR MO) are down low enough that each sequence should be quite specific (that ...

Re: splicing MO vs translation MO

Hi Rose, Try the coinjection experiment with the 5'-UTR oligo and the ATG oligo. If you are seeing the CE phenotype at reduced doses when the oligos are coinjected, that supports the hypothesis the the phenotype is due to knockdown of the targeted gene and not an off-target RNA. Only ...
