Transcription profiling of Drosophila oviduct in mated and unmated females reveals mating induces an immune response and developmental switch in the oviduct

ABSTRACT: Mating triggers physiological and behavioral changes in females. To understand how females effect these changes, we used microarray,; to characterize gene expression in oviducts of mated and unmated Drosophila females. The transition from nonegg laying to egg laying elicits a distinct molecular profile in the oviduct. Experiment Overall Design: 3 microarrays (3 biologicl repeats) of RNA from oviducts of unmated females (control) and 3 microarrays (3 biological repeats) of RNA from oviducts of mated females

ORGANISM(S): Drosophila melanogaster
