The inclusion of climate variables in the model will identify key climate drivers that affect mortality of taiwania in Taiwan and quantify those effects.
Just as in non-human behavioral ecology, the model will identify a strategy, including the response conditions and the various overt behavioral responses to them, which would maximize fitness under a set of proposed selection conditions in the evolutionary past.
Future studies using this transgenic model will identify new therapeutic targets and provide novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for these diseases.
We hope that our future studies on invasive BLNAR strains using the mouse infection model will identify effective antibiotics for human medical use.
It also remains to be established whether this culture model will identify pathogenic effects mediated by autoantibody responses against aquaporin-4, the primary target for pathogenic autoantibodies in neuromyelitis optica (Lennon et al., 2004; Bradl et al., 2009).
We reasoned that a strong correlation between human aortic DNA methylation profiles and gene expression in a heterologous model will identify grade-CpGs with potential pathobiological relevance and suitability for comparative mouse model studies.
