Title: piRNA+Arroganuants+neurogenisis+sea urchin develop experiment Post by: Mike007 on Mar 7, 2014 Hi I need help developing two experiments that are compatible with sea urchins. The hypothesis is piRNA are involved in neurogenesis? Design TWO experiments that will help identify neurogenic gene targets that are regulated by piRNAs?
I have no clue how to construct the experiments. I need to have this done by Sunday. Any help would be greatly appreciated Title: Re: piRNA+Arroganuants+neurogenisis+sea urchin develop experiment Post by: Jon Moulton on Mar 11, 2014 You could try Morpholinos targeting piRNA and look at the effect of the knockdown on neurogenesis. Sorry I didn't get this to you sooner, I just found your post.
