Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
Project description:Effect of induction of MMP3 expression in CCSP-rtTA/tet-MMP3 transgenic mice, fed doxycycline for 14 weeks We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression following MMP3 expression Transgenic mice (CCSPrt-TA/tet-MMP3 or CCSPrtTA control mice) were fed doxycycline from week 6 to week 20, then lungs were removed, formalin fixed, and embedded in paraffin. Sections were sliced from the paraffin blocks for RNA extraction.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility. Gene expression was measured in whole testis from males aged 62-86 days. Samples include 190 first generation lab-bred male offspring of wild-caught mice from the Mus musculus musculus - M. m. domesticus hybrid zone.
