BU SBRP researcher Mark Hahn (project 5) recently collaborated with researchers from the Duke Superfund Basic Research Program to publish a paper titled  "Development of the morpholino gene knockdown technique in Fundulus heteroclitus: A tool for studying molecular mechanisms in an established environmental model" in the journal Aquatic Toxicology. In this paper the authors used morpholino oligonucleotide (MO) gene knockdown technology in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) to expand the utility of killifish as an environmental model.
