Two groups of Laternula elliptica, old and young, were subjected to both ambient control and hypoxic conditions, and their gills were extracted and hybridized on an array.
The 13,824 cDNA microarray was constructed by printing 6912 PCR-amplified cDNA clones in duplicate. These were derived from a previous EST study (Clark et al, 2007) and comprised 3840 clones from the Library D2 (fully dehydrated animals, cooled to -14°C) and 3072 clones from the Library D1 (dehydrat...
The ability of the Antarctic microarthropod, Cryptopygus antarcticus (Collembola, Isotomidae), to survive low temperatures has been well studied at the physiological level. These investigations have indicated the importance of the moulting process in conferring this ability. This study investigated ...
We conducted comparative genome hybridization experiments to catalogue the common copy number variation evident between 269 individuals from three geographically distinct human populations (Yoruban, Chinese/Japanese, European) against a single reference individual.
