Consequently, a number of studies have investigated changes in retinal gene expression during manipulation of ocular growth in an attempt to elucidate the biochemical pathways underlying eye growth. However, due to the highly heterogenous nature of the retina, important changes in gene expression can be masked. Therefore, this study has investigated changes in gene expression specifically within the retinal amacrine cell layer, the most likely generator of growth signals, during manipulations of ocular growth.2010/06/17GSE17758GSM443527GSM443528GSM443529GSM443534GSM443526GSM443530GSM443531GSM443532GSM443533321317758Gallus gallus[20207967]
