Subject areas: Development, Molecular biology, Genome studies Additional filesAdditional data file 1: Shown is a table listing the primers and probes used in the amplification reactions for probe production and real-time RT-PCR analysis. Format: XLS Size: 21KB Download file This file can be viewed with: Microsoft Excel Viewer Additional data file 2: Shown is a table listing the oligonucleotides included in Dj600 chip. Format: XLS Size: 153KB Download file This file can be viewed with: Microsoft Excel Viewer Additional data file 3: Shown is a table listing the genes identified with supervised analysis I. Format: XLS Size: 86KB Download file This file can be viewed with: Microsoft Excel Viewer Additional data file 4: The image shows the analysis of the expression of DjMCM2, DjPiwi-1, and DjPum transcripts by real-time RT-PCR after 5 Gy X-ray treatment. RNA was extracted from untreated planarians and the animals were killed 3 or 7 days after 5 Gy X-ray treatment. Expression levels are indicated in relative folds, assuming a value of 1 for untreated specimens. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of three independent samples, conducted in duplicate. Format: TIFF Size: 7.6MB Download file Additional data file 5: Shown is a table listing the genes identified with supervised analysis II. Format: XLS Size: 49KB Download file This file can be viewed with: Microsoft Excel Viewer Additional data file 6: The scheme depicts the involvement of several genes found to be upregulated as a consequence of low-dose X-ray treatment in cell death, survival, or motility pathways. Factors found in the 5 Gy specific gene set are boxed in gray; other significant factors are also indicated. The network was deduced based on a literature analysis and is a synthetic representation that does not comprise all of the involved factors. The name of the 5 Gy specific factor is indicated according to principal homology or to alternative names indicated in Additional data file 5.
