NCL RESOURCE - A GATEWAY FOR BATTEN DISEASE
Many different small animal models are used for NCL research. These range from single celled organisms, such as yeasts, through nematode worms or flies, which have simple nervous systems, through to vertebrate fish models.
Each model has its own advantages. These include access to the complete sequence of their genome, their genetic tractability and easily monitored brain development. The use of some of these in NCL research is still under development
'NCL Resource' is maintained by Sara Mole.
