The RNA‐binding proteins encoded by the highly conserved elav/Hu gene family, found in
all metazoans, regulate the expression of a wide range of genes, at both the co …

Characterizing genetic diversity in Africa is a crucial step for most analyses reconstructing
the evolutionary history of anatomically modern humans. However, historic migrations from …

Embryonic lethal abnormal vision-like (ELAVL) proteins are RNA binding proteins that were
originally discovered as indispensable regulators of the development and functioning of the …

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) has been implicated in a variety of developmental and
disease processes. A particularly dramatic form of APA occurs in the developing nervous …

The relationship between microRNA (miRNA) regulation and the specification of behavior is
only beginning to be explored. We found that mutation of a single miRNA locus (miR …

Abstract Changes in gene expression are a hallmark of learning and memory consolidation.
Little is known about how alternative mRNA processing, particularly abundant in neuron …

Neuronally coexpressed ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly related RNA binding
proteins which bind to very similar cognate sequences. How this redundancy is linked to in …

The Trojan exon method, which makes use of intronically inserted T2A-Gal4 cassettes, has
been widely used in Drosophila to create thousands of gene-specific Gal4 driver lines …

The process of alternative polyadenylation (APA) generates multiple 3'UTR isoforms for a
given locus, which can alter regulatory capacity and on occasion change coding potential …

A readily evident feature of animal central nervous systems (CNSs), apparent in all
vertebrates and many invertebrates alike, is its" wedge-like" appearance, with more cells …
