Genome-wide gene expression in response to parasitoid attack in Drosophila

Bregje Wertheim, Alex R Kraaijeveld, Eugene Schuster, Eric Blanc, Meirion Hopkins, Scott D Pletcher, Michael R Strand, Linda Partridge, H Charles J Godfray Genome Biology 2005, 6:R94 (31 October 2005)

Expression profiling of the transcriptional response at 9 time points of Drosophila larvae attacked by insect parasites revealed 159 genes that were differentially expressed between parasitized and control larvae. Most genes with altered expression following parasitoid attack had not previously been associated with immune defense.

Genomic analysis of metabolic pathway gene expression in mice

Anatole Ghazalpour, Sudheer Doss, Sonal S Sheth, Leslie A Ingram-Drake, Eric E Schadt, Aldons J Lusis, Thomas A Drake Genome Biology 2005, 6:R59 (1 July 2005)

In order to evaluate metabolic pathways associated with obesity, global gene-expression data were integrated with phenotypic and genetic segregation analyses, identifying 13 metabolic pathways the genes of which are coordinately regulated in association with obesity. Four genomic regions were found to control the coordinated expression of these pathways and novel genes potentially associated with the identified pathways were identified.

Promoter features related to tissue specificity as measured by Shannon entropy

Jonathan Schug, Winfried-Paul Schuller, Claudia Kappen, J Michael Salbaum, Maja Bucan, Christian J Stoeckert Genome Biology 2005, 6:R33 (29 March 2005)

A genome-wide analysis of promoters was carried out in the context of gene expression patterns in tissue surveys using human microarray and EST-based expression data. The study revealed that most genes show statistically significant tissue-dependent variations of expression level and identified components of promoters that distinguish tissue-specific from ubiquitous genes.
