Project description:Gene transcription in epididymal fat pads was investigated in an F2 cross of 129S6 x Balb/c mice using Illumina gene expression arrays. Expression data was determined in 5 months old male mice fed a carbohydrate diet. Genotyping data for the F2 offspring used in this study can be found in the file E-MTAB-395.additional.zip under the Browse all available files link (file mouse-f2-chd-genotype.txt added 8th April 2014).
Project description:Anterior pituitary glands were isolated from 21 week old male rats treated for 12 weeks with the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES). 43 COPxACI F2 animals were selected based on pituitary weight phenotypic extremes: 22 highest and 21 lowest pituitary weights in our F2 population. Expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 v. 2.0 arrays. In conjunction with genomewide genotypes available for these 43 animals, linkage analysis was done using mRNA abundance of each transcript on the array as a separate quantitative phenotype. These arrays provide a resource for expression QTL (eQTL) mapping on a genomewide level in the pituitary gland. Experiment Overall Design: 43 samples from anterior pituitary gland were analyzed. COPxACI F2 male animals were treated with DES for 12 weeks, starting at 9 weeks of age. Pituitary glands were harvested and weighed at sacrifice (21 weeks of age). The 43 samples were selected for pituitary weight phenotypic extremes: 22 highest and 21 lowest pituitary weights in our F2 population. Genomewide genotypes are available for these animals and in conjunction with the array data, genomewide expression QTL (eQTL) mapping was done.

Project description:The effect of high fat diet feeding on heart gene transcription regulation was investigated in an F2 cross of 129S6 x Balb/c mice using Illumina gene expression arrays. Expression data was determined in 5 months old male mice fed a high fat diet (40% fat) for 15 weeks. Control mice were fed a standard carbohydrate chow. 96 animals per group were used. The files mouse-f2-chd-genotype.txt and HFD.txt contain genotyping data linked to the diets, they can be found found in the file E-MTAB-401.additional.zip on the FTP for this submission. NOTE: the file CHD.txt was replaced by the updated file mouse-f2-chd-genotype.txt on 8th April 2014.
