| Research Abstract |
Our retroviral insertional mutagenesis in mice showed frequent identification of JmjC family genes as novel candidates cancer-related genes. Jmjd5, one of the family genes, was also a target for the retrovirus, and we generated Jmjd5-deficientmice (Jmjd5△囗△) to investigate the physiological role of Jmjd5. We showed that Jmjd5 was involved in embryonic cell proliferation by fine-tuning the expression of p21 (Ishimura et al., Development 2012).
