Summary Introduction
To determine:
The epidemiology and pathology of human polyomaviruses.
Introduction:
In the mid-1950s, the search for a leukemia agent in mice led to the discovery of a new virus that was capable of causing many types of tumors. It was thus named polyomavirus. JC virus and BK virus are the two most important types of polyomaviruses. Infections by JC virus and BK virus are common across the globe. Most infections are asymptomatic and urine and respiratory secretions are believed to be the mode of transmission.

You inject morpholino oligonucleotides that inhibit the translation of follistatin, chordin, and noggin (FCN) at the 1 cell stage of a frog embryo.
What is the effect on neurulation in the resulting embryo?
Propose an experiment that would rescue an embryo injected with FCN morpholinos.
Participants will be asked to create a meme regarding a topic relevant to the department of Geography, Geomatics, and Environmental Studies.
Prompt: Using an online art style of your choice, please make a meme related to the study of Geography, Environment, or Geomatics.
Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar?
Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?
