Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE15626: Using high-density exon arrays to profile gene expression in closely related species (Exon 1.0 ST) GSE15665: Using high-density exon arrays to profile gene expression in closely related species (HJAY) Refer to individual Series
Project description:Global comparisons of gene expression profiles between species provide significant insight into gene regulation, evolutionary processes, and disease mechanisms. In this work, we describe a flexible and intuitive approach for global expression profiling of closely related species, using high-density exon arrays designed for a single reference genome. The high-density probe coverage of exon arrays allows us to select the identical set of perfect-match probes for measuring expression levels of orthologous genes. This eliminates a serious confounding factor in probe affinity effects of species-specific microarray probes, and enables direct comparisons of estimated expression indexes across species. Keywords: analysis of gene expression in tissues
