Gene Information

Original ID1:		AW060325
Note:		Differences expression in alcohol-preferring and alcohol-nonpreferring mouse strains

Dataset Information

Name:		15282116
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Striata
Phenotype:		Alcohol-nonpreferring, alcohol-preferring, alcohol self-administration
Publication:		Saito et al. Alcohol. (2004) Mouse striatal transcriptome analysis: effects of oral self-administration of alcohol. PubMed
Summary:		Aiming to define pathways among genomic, neural, and behavioral determinants of addiction, we investigated global striatal gene expression in a paradigm of oral self-administration of alcohol by using genomically very similar alcohol-nonpreferring B6.Cb(5)i(7)-alpha 3/Vad (C5A3) and alcohol-preferring B6.Ib(5)i(7)-beta 25A/Vad (I5B25A) quasi-congenic mouse strains and their progenitors, C57BL/6By (B6By) and BALB/cJ. Expression of 12,488 genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was studied by using 24 high-density oligonucleotide microarrays. As expected, striatal transcriptome differences were far more extensive between the independently derived progenitor strains than between the quasi-congenic strains and their background partner, B6By.
