摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the study to investigate use RT-PCR detect mRNAs relevant elucidating patterns gene expression in developing Ames dwarf pituitary. The for GH mRNA a rapid and reliable means determining dwarfism at ages before body-size differences become apparent. presents method that classification dwarfs vs normals is 100% correct animals could be identified by size. not present pituitary within three days initiation transcription normal mouse mutation appears involved blockage transcription, implicating involvement Pit-1 effects mutation. assays confirmed absence detectable 30 age or older. A discussed shows even seven age.
