| Abstract | Studying the development of melanoblasts, precursors of melanocytes, is challenging owing to their scarcity and dispersion in the skin embryo. However, this is an important subject because diverse diseases are associated with defective melanoblast development. Consequently, characterizing patterns of expression in melanoblasts during normal development is an important issue. This requires isolating enough melanoblasts during embryonic development to obtain sufficient RNA to study their transcriptome. ZEG reporter mouse line crossed with Tyr::Cre mouse line was used to label melanoblasts by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) autofluorescence. We isolated melanoblasts by FACS from the skin of E14.5-E16.5 embryos, and obtained sufficient cells for large-scale transcriptomic analysis after RNA isolation and amplification. We confirmed our array-based data for various genes of interest by standard quantitative real-time RT-PCR. We demonstrated that phosphatase and tensin homolog was expressed in melanoblasts but BRN2 was not, although both are involved in melanomagenesis. We also revealed the potential contribution of genes not previously implicated in any function in melanocytes or even in neural crest derivatives. Finally, the Schwann cell markers, PLP1 and FABP7, were significantly expressed in melanoblasts, melanocytes, and melanoma. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the transcriptomic analysis of purified melanoblasts at different embryonic stages and reveals the involvement of previously unreported genes in melanoblast development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
