Capecchi, Mario R. | Mice with targeted disruptions in the paralogous genes hoxa-3 and hoxd-3 reveal synergistic interactions. | The Hox genes encode transcription factors which mediate the formation of the mammalian body plan along the anteroposterior and appendicular axes. Paralogous Hox genes within the separate linkage groups are closely related with respect to DNA sequence and expression, suggesting that they could have ... | Animals; Atlas; Homozygote; Mice; Models, Genetic | 1994-07-28 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Targeted disruption of the even-skipped gene, evx1, causes early postimplantation lethality of the mouse conceptus. | Implantation within the mammalian uterus elicits dramatic changes in the growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis of the conceptus. This process is interrupted in mice carrying a targeted disruption of the murine evx1 gene, a homolog of the Drosophila even-skipped (eve) gene. Upon implantation, pr... | Extraembryonic; Homozygotes; Drosophila | 1994-08-15 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Krapcho, Karen J.; Talbot, Phil; Thulin, Craig | Crystallization of the MS2 translational repressor alone and complexed to bromouridine | The coat protein from the MS2 bacteriophage plays a dual role by encapsidating viral RNA and also by binding RNA as a translational repressor. In order to study the isolated dimer in a conformation not influenced by capsid interactions, a mutant molecule was crystallized that is defective in capsid ... | Crystallization; RNA Bacteriophage; RNA Hairpin; Translational Repressor | 1995 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Genetic interaction between hoxb-5 and hoxb-6 is revealed by nonallelic noncomplementation. | hoxb-5 and hoxb-6 are adjacent genes in the mouse HoxB locus and are members of the homeotic transcription factor complex that governs establishment of the mammalian body plan. To determine the roles of these genes during development, we generated mice with a targeted disruption in each gene.

Eichwald, Ernst; Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Mouse model for the delta F508 allele of cystic fibrosis | The most common cause of cystic fibrosis is a mutation that deletes phenylalanine 508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 protein is misprocessed and degraded rather than traveling to the apical membrane. We used a novel strategy to introduce the delta F508 ... | Digestive System; Disease Models, Animal; Electrolytes; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1995-10 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Ascertainment bias in estimates of average heterozygosity | Population geneticists work with a nonrandom sample of the human genome. Conventional practice ensures that unusually variable loci are most likely to be discovered and thus included in the sample of loci. Consequently, estimates of average heterozygosity are biased upward. In what follows we descri... | Bias (Epidemiology); Biometry; Heterozygote | 1996-05 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Hox genes and mammalian development | We have examined the interactions of Hox genes in forming a cervical vertebrae, hindbrain, and limbs. In each case, it is apparent that individual Hox genes are performing individual functions but that more profound roles are apparent when they act in combination with others Hox genes. The observed ... | Drosophila; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Homozygote | 1997 |
