纽约大学《人类基因组计划课题》

纽约大学，New York University, 简称 NYU，成立于 1831 年，是全美最大的私立大学之一；也是美国唯一一座坐落于纽约心脏地带的名校。

纽约大学，拥有34名诺贝尔奖得主，3名阿贝尔奖得主，21名奥斯卡奖、艾美奖、格莱美奖、东尼奖得主，9名美国国家科学勋章获奖者，16名普利策奖得主，以及19名美国科学院勋章获奖者。

纽约大学，较为偏重人文艺术及社会科学，曾出过十二位首级人物，另外如小约翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪、鲁迪·朱利安尼、辜振甫、陈履安、马英九等几位名人也皆为纽约大学的毕业校友。

关于泽尔达突变体的基因表现分析

（人类基因组计划课题）

Brief Description

The development of a fertilized egg into a fully grown adult is one of most fascinating processes in nature. My lab uses the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism to study how genes control development. 

Many of the important genes that control development have counterparts in humans and have been implicated in diseases like cancer. 

By examining the molecular nature of these important genes, we can begin to understand how they function at the mechanistic level during development. One gene that we study is zelda, which plays a crucial role in early development in Drosophila; we ask how it functions and how it is regulated. Several different research projects will be available for study.

Research Method

Students will examine data collected from genetic experiments previously performed in the Rushlow lab. 

Students will investigate the role of the zelda gene in activating the early genome in the model organism Drosophila (fruit fly).

Requirements

Students will write a report that introduces the biological question and its significance, explains the experimental methodology, and discusses and interprets the results of the experiments.

Referring Materials 

(papers and textbooks)

There is no textbook for this class. Lecture notes and primary research articles will be provided in-class.
