The Q-system is a recently developed repressible binary expression system that offers new possibilities for transgene expression and genetic manipulations. In this review chapter, we …

The Q system introduced into Drosophila consists of three components: the QF transcription factor, a QUAS-geneX effector, and the QS suppressor (Fig. 1, Fig. 2). The QUAS element …

This ‘Q system’ offers attractive features for transgene expression in Drosophila and mammalian cells: low basal expression in the absence of the transcriptional activator QF, high QF-induced …

Jul 7, 2011 · For this purpose, we recently developed the Q system, a second repressible binary expression system. We describe here the basic steps for performing a variety of Q system …

Q-system is a genetic tool that allows to express transgenes in a living organism. [1] Originally the Q-system was developed [2] [3] for use in the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, and was …

In this review chapter, we focus on current state-of-the-art Q-system tools and reagents. We also discuss in vivo applications of the Q-system, together with GAL4/UAS and LexA/LexAop …

We describe here the basic steps for performing a variety of Q system experiments in vivo. these include how to generate and use Q system reagents to express effector transgenes in tissues...

Oct 12, 2016 · Binary expression systems are flexible and versatile genetic tools in Drosophila. The Q-system is a recently developed repressible binary expression system that offers new …

The following examples demonstrate how the Q-system can be adapted from Drosophila to virtually any species to study diverse biological questions. At the same time, applications of …

Apr 30, 2010 · We demonstrate the utility of the Q system in determining cell division patterns of a neuronal lineage and gene function in cell growth and proliferation, and in dissecting neurons …
