Project description:Activation of A Disintegrin and A Metalloprotease Domain17 (ADAM17) is involved in nephropathy, but the role of this metalloprotease and its inhibitor TIMP3 in diabetic kidney disease is unclear. We used microarray profiling to find genes differentially expressed in the 2 genotypes which could explain the more severe diabetic kidney disease features observed in T3-/- mice compared to the WT littermates. Total RNA was extracted from 3 WT and 3 Timp3-/- diabetic kidneys
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.
