PROTECTING JAPANESE GIANT SALAMANDERS (ANDRIAS JAPONICUS) IN THE NAWA RIVER BASIN, JAPAN: POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS ADDRESSING WATER POLLUTION AND WATERWAY DISRUPTION

Protecting Japanese giant salamanders (Andrias japonicus) in the Nawa River Basin, Japan: policy recommendations addressing water pollution and waterway disruption

The Japanese giant salamander, Andrias japonicus, is an iconic but declining species of aquatic amphibian.A population within the Nawa River Basin of Tottori Prefecture persists but faces two significant threats.The first major threat is waterway obstructions, in the form of dams, weirs, and concrete embankments, which severely fragment and degrade

Genome-wide identification of Bcl11b gene targets reveals role in brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling.

B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 11B (Bcl11b) is a transcription factor showing predominant expression in the striatum.To date, there are no known gene targets of Bcl11b in the nervous system.Here, we define targets for Bcl11b in striatal cells by performing chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) in combination with
