Gene in Ethanol Study Datasets
Gene Information
Original ID1:257648
Fold Change:0.89
P Value:0.022
Note:Fold change is average ratio of AA to ANA.
Dataset Information
Name:15846778
Method:Microarray
Tissue:Frontal cortex
Phenotype:Alcohol-preferring, alcohol-nonpreferring
Publication:Worst et al. J Neurosci Res. (2005) Transcriptome analysis of frontal cortex in alcohol-preferring and nonpreferring rats. PubMed
Summary:DNA macroarrays were used to probe for differences in normative cortical gene expression between rat strains genetically selected for alcohol selfadministration preference, AA (Alko, alcohol) and P (Indiana, preferring), or avoidance, ANA (Alko, nonalcohol) and NP (Indiana, nonpreferring). Among 1,176 genes studied, six demonstrated confirmable, differential expression following comparison of ethanol-naive AA and ANA rats.
