This video describes the identification of functional interactions between Parkinson's disease genes VPS35, EIF4G1, and alpha-synuclein. Aaron Gitler and Nripesh Dhungel describe experiments in yeast, C. elegans, and mouse to provide evidence for unexpected connections between Parkinson’s disease genes. For more information, see Dhungel et al. in Neuron 85/1, http://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S0896-6273(14)01081-2.
