Depositor Comments

pCAG-CFP was used for the backbone. CFP was excised with AgeI and NotI, and tdTomato was inserted using the same restriction sites. These plasmids were also used in the following publication "Normalizing translation through 4E-BP prevents mTOR-driven cortical mislamination and ameliorates aberrant neuron integration. Lin TV, Hsieh L, Kimura T, Malone TJ, Bordey A. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2016 Oct 4;113(40):11330-11335."
