Transcription profiling of mouse developing and mature Nrl -/- retina against wild type controls

ABSTRACT: The rod photoreceptor-specific neural retina leucine zipper protein Nrl is essential for rod differentiation and plays a critical role in regulating gene expression. In the mouse retina, rods account for 97% of the photoreceptors; however, in the absence of Nrl (Nrl-/-), no rods are present and a concomitant increase in cones is observed. Using mouse GeneChips (Affymetrix), we have generated expression profiles of the wild-type and Nrl-/- retina at three time-points representing distinct stages of photoreceptor differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: Both the Nrl-/- mice and wild type controls were of a matched mixed genetic background (R1 and C57BL/6 strains).
