Project description:The goal of the experiment was to determine the difference in gene expression between the wild-type strain and a strain lacking rpaA (ΔrpaA). Because gene expression is not at steady-state in the wild-type -- it oscillates with a circadian period -- and we did not know a priori whether it is at steady-state in the ΔrpaA strain, we compared the time-averaged gene expression in the wild-type to the time-averaged gene expression in the ΔrpaA strain.
Project description:To study the roles of NWMN_0641, we used microarray to compare the transcriptome of the NWMN_0641 deletion strain with that of the wild-type Staphylococcus aureus Newman strain. Transcriptome of the NWMN_0641 deletion mutant strain and the wild-type Newman strain
