5 strains of rat, WKY, spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and 3 reciprocal congenic strains (WconSA, SconSA and SISA) were used to generate expression data across the genome using the Affymetrix rat genome chip set comprising the 230 A and 230 B chips. 5 animals from each strain were used.

Monocytes play a central role in the inflammatory response that follows acute myocardial infarction (MI). In order to study phenotypic adaptation of this cell type, we investigated patterns of monocyte gene expression in circulating monocytes at various stages of MI. Circulating monocytes were isola...
Methylation profiling by EPIC microarray was performed on 3 human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs) and human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAoSMCs) to assess CpG methylation in proximity to cardiovascular disease-associated variants.
The aim of this study was to compare the power to detect associations between SNPs using cis-eQTL mapping and ASE analysis (allele specific expression).
