Project description:ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) regulates cellular cholesterol efflux. We characterized the gene expression changes following hepatocyte specific ABCA1 deletion in mice. We report that genes and pathways related to lipogenesis were downregulated in mice with hepatocyte specific ABCA1 deletion compared to floxed controls.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
