ABSTRACT: Utilising ancient DNA to understand crop population dynamics across a millennium: A case study of archaeological barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) from Gran Canaria, Spain
Project description:Within the overall project, we performed a set of microarrays to validate RNAseq data (submitted to EBI: PRJEB4463). In this data set, we compare the expression data of song nuclei to the optical tectrum dissected from adult canaries housed at long day cycles to identify nuclei specific genes. 18 total S. canaria samples were analyzed, 6 HVC samples, 5 RA samles and 7 Entopallium samples. The differential expression was analyzed using the group-wise exhaustive analysis with False Discovery Rate set to zero and 10-significant probe minimum coverage, HVc/RA compared to entopallium samples. ChipInspector carries out significance analysis on the single probe level (directly generated from the CEL files). Thus, normalized probe set level data for individual Sample records are not available. Processed data files containing transcripts and the fold changes are available on Series record.
Project description:A large corpus of 112 keratin extracts from archaeological fibres collected in Bronze Age and Iron Age sites of the Keriya valley in the Taklamakan desert (Xinjiang, China) was analyzed by bottom-up proteomics for archaeological purpose.
