doi: 10.1186/1471-2164-14-549

Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of iron-responsive and Fur-regulated genes in C. crescentus identified by microarray analyses. The Venn diagrams were constructed using the number of up- and down-regulated genes from experiments comparing wild type cells exposed to iron-limiting versus iron-replete conditions or comparing fur mutant strain versus wild type strain both in iron-replete condition. The complete set of the genes belonging to each group is listed in Tables , , , and Additional file : Table S1. The upstream region of these genes (−200 to +50 bp relative to the start codon) were searched for sequence motifs using the MEME tool. A 19-pb palindromic motif, corresponding to the Fur binding site, was exclusively found in the group of genes regulated by both iron and Fur.

Article Snippet: Labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to a custom-designed DNA oligo microarray (Agilent) (each gene is covered by 9–11 probes located −300 to +200 relative to the translational start site) using a protocol previously described [ , ].

Article Title: Expression Profiling of Major Histocompatibility and Natural Killer Complex Genes Reveals Candidates for Controlling Risk of Graft versus Host Disease

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0016582

Figure Lengend Snippet: A subgroup of 8 samples used for the microarray experiment (see Fig. 1 ) was analyzed by qRT-PCR for the expression of 10 MHC and 3 NKC genes. The ΔΔct value was calculated, i.e. the Δct ( Gapdh – gene of interest) of the allogeneic skin explant samples minus Δct ( Gapdh – gene of interest) of the corresponding control sample. The control sample was either a parallel skin explant exposed to syngeneic lymphocytes as in the microarray experiment (syngeneic control, black bars) or a parallel skin explant sample cultured in medium only (medium control, white bars). The means of the ΔΔct values plus standard errors of the mean (SEM) are shown. A positive value indicates an up-regulation of gene expression in the allogeneic samples.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Combined expression profiles of target genes belonging to six largest T. thynnus tissue clusters. The profiles were derived by combining qPCR and microarray data for specific genes using their respective percentile ranks. Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine statistical significance of the differences between tissues. Letter codes denote statistical significance at p < 0.05
