Expression Note

Abstract 

We have isolated the chicken LIS1 homolog, chLIS1, with DNA sequence similarity of over 68% to the human cDNA and 99% amino acid identity. Additionally, we describe the pattern of chLIS1 expression in the chicken embryo. The early embryonic expression is highly specific to the developing nervous system, whereas later the expression is more widespread.

Key words Chicken Lissencephaly LIS1 Platelet-activating factor Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase
