Title:Gestational tissue transcriptomics in term and preterm human pregnancies: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Transcriptomics is shedding new light on the relationship between photosynthetic algae and salamander eggs.

To date, a range of ion channels have been identified in chondrocytes using a number of different techniques, predominantly electrophysiological and/or biomolecular; each of these has its advantages and disadvantages. Here we aim to compare and contrast the data available from biophysical and microarray experiments. This letter analyses recent transcriptomics datasets from chondrocytes, accessi...

In our ever-changing environment, we are frequently exposed to uncontrollable, threatening social or physical stimuli that are perceived as stress. The brain rapidly mounts a stress response, by releasing neurotransmitters, hormones and peptides-stress mediators-that orchestrate organism-wide changes in an attempt to meet the challenges of the stressful situation. Despite the adaptive value of ...

The past five years have seen a tremendous rise in porcine transcriptomic data. Available porcine Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) have expanded greatly, with over 623,000 ESTs deposited in Genbank. ESTs have been used to expand the pig-human comparative maps, but such data has also been used in many ways to understand pig gene expression. Several methods have been used to identify genes differen...
