Abstract excerpt
Drosophila Futsch is a key microtubule-associated protein (fly homolog of MAP1B) that regulates microtubule organization, synaptic terminal growth, and neuronal development. Functional analysis of futsch has long been limited by the inability to clone and express a full-length futsch transgene, owing to its exceptional size (~16.5 kb) and extensive repetitive sequences. Here, I present an efficient and...
