Project description:Effect of mutation of rfaH on gene expression in Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis PT4 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 4/74
Project description:In order to study the physiological consequences of a high-copper diet on hepatic gene expression, 6 mM CuCl2 was added to the drinking water for a period of 1 month. After this period, livers of seven control mice and eight copper-treated mice were isolated and were subjected to microarray analysis and copper measurements. The hepatic gene expression profile of copper-treated mice was compared to non-treated mice using a pooled reference.
Project description:Nine time points for microarray analysis were chosen to study early and late transcriptional responses in copper metabolism upon copper overload in HepG2 cells. Samples of copper-treated cells were hybridized using non-treated samples as a reference.
Project description:Mice were obtained from in house breeding of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J-Chr 1A/Na breeding pairs (Jackson Laboratories, USA). To produce F1 hybrids, C57BL/6J females were mated with C57BL/6J-Chr 1A/Na males. The F1 hybrids were intercrossed, producing 82 F2 progeny (41 males and 41 females). Microarray analysis was performed on six pairs of affected and non-affected male animals from the F2 progeny selected on the basis of their motor activity levels (average daily levels of distance moved over a 3 days recording: 768±74 cm/hr (affected) versus 1765±175 cm/hr (non-affected)(p<0.0001).
Project description:We used microarrays to monitor expression patterns of several thousand genes in the brains of same-aged (10 day old) virgin queens, sterile workers, and reproductive workers in honey bees (Apis mellifera).
Project description:A gene expression study using microarray analysis was performed to elucidate the underlying mechanism leading to embryonic lethality in homozygous Commd1 null (Commd1-/-) mouse embryos. A gene expression profile of 9.5 dpc Commd1-/- embryos were generated and were compared to a gene expression profile of both 8.5 dpc and 9.5 dpc normal embryos.
