Gene in Ethanol Study Datasets
Gene Information
Original ID1:CHRNA7
Original ID2:X70297
Dataset Information
Name:11093800
Method:Microarray
Tissue:SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells
Phenotype:Ethanol response
Publication:Thibault et al. Mol Pharmacol. (2000) Expression profiling of neural cells reveals specific patterns of ethanol-responsive gene expression. PubMed
Summary:We used oligonucleotide arrays to study nearly 6000 genes in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells exposed to chronic ethanol. A set of 42 genes had consistently increased or decreased mRNA abundance after 3 days of ethanol treatment.
Gene Information
Original ID1:CHRNA7
Dataset Information
Name:Literature Search
Method:Literature search
Summary:We search all human protein coding gene names and the keywords Alcohol or Ethanol or Alcoholism in the title or abstract of all PUBMED publications. For those gene name less than 3 characters or search result hits more than 100, we use the full name to search again and manually check the results to reduce false positive.
