(Submitter supplied) Background: Transcriptome variability is due to genetic and environmental causes, much like any other complex phenotype. Ascertaining the transcriptome differences between individuals is an important step to understand how selection and genetic drift may affect gene expression. To that end, extant divergent livestock breeds offer an ideal genetic material. Results: We have analyzed with microarrays five tissues from the endocrine axis (hypothalamus, adenohypophysis, thyroid gland, gonads and fat tissue) of 16 pigs from both sexes pertaining to four extreme breeds (Duroc, Large White, Iberian and a cross with SinoEuropean hybrid line). more...

(Submitter supplied) Affymetrix submissions are typically submitted to GEO using the GEOarchive method described at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/geo/info/geo_affy.html The GeneChip Porcine Genome Array provides comprehensive coverage of the Sus scrofa transcriptome. The array contains 23,937 probe sets that interrogate approximately 23,256 transcripts from 20,201 S. scrofa genes. The sequence information for this array was selected from public data sources including UniGene Build 28 (August 2004), GenBank® mRNAs up to August 24, 2004, and GenBank porcine mitochondrial and rRNA sequences. more...
