cfm is a novel gene uniquely expressed in developing forebrain and midbrain, but its null mutant exhibits no obvious phenotype.

Gene expression patterns : GEP | 2005

A novel gene, cfm, that is expressed uniquely during early forebrain and midbrain development was isolated, and its null mutant was generated. cfm does not have any known functional domains, but is conserved in human, chick, Xenopus and zebrafish; a site of phosphorylation by MAP kinase exists in one of the domains conserved among them. Its expression was initially found at the 5-somite stage in the future midbrain and caudal forebrain region. The expression in mesencephalon subsequently decreased, was found in a stripe in the mid mesencephalon at E9.0. The expression in diencephalon was restricted to the dorsal thalamic region by E9.5 and to epiphysis at E12.5. In mouse a cognate, cfm2, exists that is expressed uniquely in the somite just formed and the presomite to be segmented, but not in forebrain or midbrain during early development. However, the cfm null mutant was live-born without any apparent defects.

BacPac Resources Center (tool)

RRID:SCR_007215

It is the distribution arm of their academic laboratory. They operate on a cost-recovery mechanism in order to make the resources generated in their laboratory available to the academic scientific community. While clones and screening services are widely available, library arrays are primarily available to researchers with a scientific need to analyze most clones in the library. This site contains information on currently available BAC and PAC genomic DNA libraries, BAC Clones, PAC Clones, Fosmid Clones, cDNA collections, high-density colony hybridization filters, and BAC and PAC cloning vectors. Protocols used in our laboratory for the hybridization-based screening of colony filters, purification of BAC and PAC DNA, and end-sequencing methodologies, are also provided. BPRC does not list clones, for two reasons: 1)most clones have not been characterized and lack specific data. 2)all clones are part of libraries and all clones from a particular library share common characteristics. Hence, to find out if BPRC has a particular clone, one needs either use Automatic Clone Validation or else find out if the clone is compatible with the range of clone names for a corresponding clone library. Typically (although not always), clone names are derived from the library name. BPRC uses the NCBI-recommended clone nomenclature & library nomenclature. Most arrayed libraries are available in frozen microtiter dish format to academic and non-academic users provided that there is a scientific need for complete-library access. (for instance to annotate, modify or analyze all BAC clones as part of a genome project).
