Project description:Liver samples were isolated from postnatal day 15 (P15) untreated mice and then flash frozen: Mus musculus musculus (C57BL/6J), Mus musculus castaneus (CAST), and Mus caroli (CAROLI). DEN-induced liver tumours and background liver tissue were collected from 37-week old C57BL/6J mice. ATAC-seq was performed to identify the open regions of the genome.
Project description:We compared gene expression differences in the polytypic species complex Mus musculus (Mus musculus musculus, Mus musculus domesticus, Mus musculus castaneus and Mus musculus ssp) with that of Mus spretus via oligonucleotide microarrays representing more than 20,000 genes. Analysis of the results by two way ANOVA statistics suggests that the most genes with significant differences in expression levels among the subspecies are found in liver and kidney and the least in testis. This picture is different when one compares with Mus spretus, where the largest number of differences is found in testis. Keywords: multi-species comparison
