Project description:To compare with new Ciona intestinalis microarray NimbleGen 135k, we peformed gene expression analysis of GPL14686. Total RNAs from common samples with a part of NimbleGen's analysis are used for this analysis. Ovary and Neural Complex from adult Ciona intestinalis, duplicate, 2 time points during spawning
Project description:Investigation of gene expression during spawning in ovary and neural complex in Ciona intestinalis. 2 chips of 135k 12plex NimbleGen arrays.
Project description:Recent whole-genome studies and in-depth expressed sequence tag (EST) analyses have identified most of the developmentally relevant genes in the urochordate, Ciona intestinalis. In this study, we made use of a large-scale oligo-DNA microarray to further investigate and identify genes with specific or correlated expression profiles. This large-scale oligo-DNA microarray for C. intestinalis should facilitate the understanding of global gene expression and gene networks during the development and ageing of a basal chordate. Keywords: gene expression, development, ageing, life cycle
