Project description:Measurement of mRNA abundance from the following cells lines (red) versus universal mouse reference RNA (green). Wildtype v-Abl transformed pre-B cells were treated for 12 hours with 2.5 uM imatinib mesylate, 10ng/mL rapamycin or nothing. Compound Based Treatment: wildtype v-Abl transformed pre-B cells were treated with imatinib mesylate (IMA), rapamycin (RAP) or nothing (NONE)

Project description:Analysis of gene expression profiles is an attractive method for discovering how animals respond to environmental challenges in nature. Compared to low altitudes, high altitudes are characterized by reduced partial pressures of oxygen (hypoxia) and cooler ambient temperatures To better understand how mammals cope with high altitudes, we trapped wild house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from 3 populations in La Paz, Bolivia (3000 - 3600 m) and 3 populations in Lima, Peru (0 – 200 m). Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays were use to measure mRNA abundance in the livers of these mice.
