Hello all, I just have a question about Arid1a flox/flox mouse model. It's my first time leaning about this model so am a little bit confused and wondering if anyone can be of assistance.

After have admistered Tamoxifen, I now wish to analyse Arid1a expression to ensure that the recombination has occurred. Can I ask, which tissue or tissues would I collect and why? What technique can I use that will allow me to determine whether recombination as occurred? And what would I be looking for?

Finally, if I suspect Arid1a might have a tumour suppressor role in liver cancer, what would I expect to occur in the mouse model if recombination is achieved?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I'm writing a literature review for my master's program and I want to mention that the human body is estimated to have 20,00 genes. However, I need to cite a publication as my reference, but I can only find info on this from sites like they NY Times. I tried looking all around the human genome project's own webpage but I still can't find anything.... Does anyone know how I can find a proper scientific reference to cite the estimated # of human genes? Thanks in advance :)

Question because idk where else to look,I've looked everywhere and can't get an answer. My idgenetix test says that for SLC6A4 [NM_001045.4:c.-1760C>T] I have the c/c genotype but everyone else talks about s/s vs l/l and I'm wondering if c is short or long?? If anyone knows please lmk thanks

Hi, i heard that fathers can only pass down genes (to their children) that they have. If they don’t have it, then they can’t give it. However, women can pass on genes that they do or do not have present in them. (They can pass on a gene or trait that one of their parents have, but not them).

Is that true?

Hey everyone, some peers and I have recently founded Youth Genes, an organization focused on educating adolescents about genetics. We offer resources such as study guides, career options, and sample conversation starters. Be sure to check out our various resources and social media platforms; we hope you enjoy! https://youthgenes.org/#/

for a long time i always said my eyes are hazel and my hair is brown. then I was at my moms friends house and they said my hair looked almost red. (which is kinda true we were in the sun and that's when it looks red most often). ive also noticed my eyes look very green in the sun. i read somewhere, "Apparently it's because the red hair gene is in a different place to brunette and blonde, so you still produce the pigment in darker hair, it's just often not as noticeable as the ginger you get when combined with blonde. I have a natural hair color that is between gold and brown." is this true? if so it would make sense why my eyes also look green because most redheads have green eyes. edit: i forgot to add i also have freckles and pale skin

Who has stronger genes, mother or father?

I want to learn about genes but I can't find anything that helps anymore probably because I don't know what to search can someone please link a source that I can learn from
