Project description:Factorial Microarray Analysis of Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) Adhesion Process under the Impact of Multiple Environmental Factors The expression profiles of the zebra mussel byssus unique genes in our cDNA microarray can be influenced by multiple factors. Three environmental factors plus adhesion status were considered as four main factors in this study.
Project description:Factorial Microarray Analysis of Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) Adhesion Process under the Impact of Multiple Environmental Factors The expression profiles of the zebra mussel byssus unique genes in our cDNA microarray can be influenced by multiple factors. Three environmental factors plus adhesion status were considered as four main factors in this study. Two different levels in each factor were created, therefore, a 2x2x2x2 factorial experimental design was made by sixteen treatment groups with four biological replicates in each group. There were 32 dual-channel microarray slides included in this study and the effects of main factors on gene expression profiles as well as the two-way, three-way, and four-way interactions of the main factors were analyzed. Factors: temperature, water agitation, oxygen level, and adhesion status
Project description:A zebra mussel byssus cDNA microarray was used to identify the differentially expressed genes between attachment and detachment. Keywords: Gene differential expression
