Figure 3. DKF-2 Induces 3-30-fold Increases in 85 mRNAs.
Microarray analysis measured the abundance of mRNAs in animals expressing an integrated dkf-2::DKF-2-GFP transgene (relative to mRNA levels in WT C. elegans). Animals were fed E. coli OP50. & Symbols in parenthesis indicate: (+), mRNA expressed in intestine; (nd), mRNA expression pattern not determined; (−) mRNA expressed in various cells, but not intestine. Designations are based on data provided by WormBase (wormbase.org) and the Genome Sciences Center MultiSAGE C. elegans database (elegans.bcgsc.ca).
