Expression data of wild-type C. elegans shifted from 23 degrees to 17 degrees

ABSTRACT: C. elegans exhibits thermotaxis, where most of the animals that had been cultivated at a particular temperature ranging from 15°C to 25°C for a few hours with a food source and then placed on a thermal gradient for an hour migrate to the cultivation temperature. In addition, animals that were previously conditioned to migrate to a certain temperature are capable of migrating to a new cultivation temperature a few hours after the cultivation temperature was shifted to the new temperature To gain the detailed molecular insight into thermotactic behavior, the genome-wide microarray analysis during behavioral conditioning was performed. We compared the transcriptional profile of animals conditioned to migrate to the new temperature 17°C with that of animals conditioned to migrate to the previous temperature 23°C Synchronized adult wild-type animals cultivated at 23 degrees were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
