The transcription factor Zscan10 had been attributed a role as a pluripotency factor in embryonic stem cells based on its interaction with Oct4 and Sox2 in in vitro assays. Here we suggest a potential role of Zscan10 in controlling progenitor cell populations in vivo. Mice homozygous for a Zscan10 mutation exhibit reduced weight, mild hypoplasia in the spleen, heart and long bones and phenocopy an eye malformation previously described for Sox2 hypomorphs. Phenotypic abnormalities are supported by the nature of Zscan10 expression in midgestation embryos and adults suggesting a role for Zscan10 in either maintaining progenitor cell subpopulation or impacting on fate choice decisions thereof.

Central repository for the physical archive and distribution of cryopreserved ES cells, spermatozoa, ova, embryos, and non-germ cell tissue DNA generated by Canada''''s mouse genome effort. The CMMR acts in coordination with other repositories worldwide and is establishing a nation-wide network of repository nodes to house sub-sets of the resources generated across Canada. The CMMR is the repository and distribution center for the North American Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis project (NorCOMM). The CMMR also collects and stores somatic tissue from mouse models in a variety of formats (fixed, embedded, and glass-slide mounted) enabling world wide access to specimens from established mouse models. Services include: * Embryo cryopreservation and recovery * Ovary cryopreservation and recovery * Ovary transplant * Sperm cryopreservation and recovery * Strain services, including rederivation by IVF, speed expansion and strain rescue * NorCOMM ES cell withdrawal * Non-NorCOMM ES cell expansion
View all literature mentionsSoftware tool that screens DNA sequences for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The output of the program is a detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the query sequence as well as a modified version of the query sequence in which all the annotated repeats have been masked (default: replaced by Ns). Currently over 56% of human genomic sequence is identified and masked by the program. Sequence comparisons in RepeatMasker are performed by one of several popular search engines including nhmmer, cross_match, ABBlast/WUBlast, RMBlast and Decypher. RepeatMasker makes use of curated libraries of repeats and currently supports Dfam ( profile HMM library ) and RepBase ( consensus sequence library ).
