Project description:One of the central issues in evolutionary developmental biology is how we can formulate the relationships between evolutionary and developmental processes. Two major models have been proposed: the 'funnel-like' model, in which the earliest embryo shows the most conserved morphological pattern, followed by diversifying later stages, and the 'hourglass' model, in which constraints are imposed to conserve organogenesis stages, which is called the phylotypic period. Here we perform a quantitative comparative transcriptome analysis of several model vertebrate embryos and show that the pharyngula stage is most conserved, whereas earlier and later stages are rather divergent. These results allow us to predict approximate developmental timetables between different species, and indicate that pharyngula embryos have the most conserved gene expression profiles, which may be the source of the basic body plan of vertebrates.

This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE28388: [E-MTAB-366] Transcription profiling by array of chicken embryos at 15 different stages GSE28389: [E-MTAB-368] Transcription profiling by array of mouse embryos at 8 different stages GSE28390: [E-MTAB-369] Transcription profiling by array of Xenopus laevis embryos at 15 different stages Refer to individual Series
Project description:Transcription profiling of chicken development The experiment were perfomed as a part of our Vertebrate Evo-Devo project. The aim of the project is to compare transcription profiles of normal (unmanipulated, wild-type, whole embryo) vertebrate embryos. Total RNA was collected from wild type G.gallus whole embryos at 15 different stages (Stages:HH1,2,4,6,8,9,11,14,16,19,24,27,32,34,38), and hybridized to the Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array. All the stages contains data from two biological replications. Each staged-samples consists of pooled total RNA from several whole embryos.

Project description:We report the transcriptomes of 10 different chicken (Gallus gallus) cell/tissue types. The goal of this project was to determine similarities and differences between different cell/tissue types, with respect to protein coding genes, lncRNA, isoform counts, and differential gene expression. We provide raw data and bigWig files for UCSC visualization. The findings described here will be useful towards a complete annotation of chicken tissue and cellular transcriptomes.
Project description:Expression of known and predicted genes in tissues of Gallus gallus (chicken) pooled from multiple healthy individuals. Two-colour experiments with two different tissues hybridized to each array. Each tissue is arrayed in replicate with dye swaps. Tissues: Bursa of Fabricius, Cerebellum, Cerebral cortex, Eye, Femur with bone marrow, Gallbladder, Gizzard, Heart, Intestine, Kidney, Liver, Lung, Muscle, Ovary, Oviduct, Skin, Spleen, Stomach, Testis, Thymus
