Affymetrix experiment GSE4188
| Experiment name | Transcription profiling of whole testis from wild type, bgcn- and Os+bgcn- Drosophila [GSE4188] |
|---|---|
| Source | GEO |
| Experiment description | Whole testes were dissected from adult males. RNA from five or six biological replicates were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Drosophila Genechip 1 arrays. Comparisons between the bgcn- and Os+bgcn- groups allowed for the identification of stem cell genes. |

| Experiment description | A new online resource (flyatlas.org) provides the most comprehensive view yet of expression in multiple tissues of Drosophila. Meta-analysis of the data reveals that a significant fraction ofthe genome is expressed with great tissue specificity in the adult, demonstrating the need for the functional genomic community to embrace a wider range of functional phenotypes. Well-known developmental genes are often re-used in surprising tissues in the adult, suggesting new functions. The homologues of many human genetic disease loci show selective expression in Drosophila tissues with function analogous to the affected tissues in the cognate human disease, providing a useful filter for potential candidate genes. Experiment Overall Design: FlyAtlas is composed of data covering 8 distinct adult tissues (brain, head, midgut, Malpighian tubules,hindgut, testis, ovary, male accessory glands) so far, together with two larval tissues (tubule, fat body), each run with 4 replicates on Affymetrix Dros Genome 2 chips (with probesets for 18770 transcripts), and compared with a matched whole-fly sample. |
