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:In this data set, we compared the expression data of song nuclei HVC dissected from adult female canaries (S. canaria) implanted with 7-mm SilasticTM tubes filled with testosterone for 6 periods (1h, 3h, 8h, 3d, 7d, and 14d) with control birds (implanted with empty tube) to identify testosterone effects on gene expression.
Project description:In this data set, we compared the expression data of song nuclei HVC, visual cortex entopallium, and the molecular layer of the cerebellum dissected from females and males of 3 songbird species (S. canaria, U. cyanocephalus, P. bicolor) to identify sex-specific stimulated gene expression. Testosterone-treated male and female canaries were also included in order to study whether testosterone effect on transcriptomes is sex-specific. Finally, testosterone-treated female canaries were compared with a rare group of spontaneously singing female canaries to study whether testosterone stimulation would be different from natural stimulation.
