Bioinformatics of ethanol and withdrawal-responsive genes in the nucleus accumbens.
| Change | Gene symbol (gene name) | Proposed function | P values |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circadian rhythms | |||
| ↓ | Car2 (Carbonic anhydrase 2) | Circadian oscillations | 2.3E-05 |
| ↓ | Arntl (Aryl receptor nuclear translocator-like) | Transcription factor | 1.7E-04 |
| ↑ | Car4 (Carbonic anhydrase 4) | Circadian oscillations | 3.5E-04 |
| ↑ | Dbp (D site albumin promoter binding protein) | Circadian oscillations | 3.7E-04 |
| ↑ | Per3 (period homolog 3) | Rhythmic behavior | 3.7E-04 |
P values indicate the level of significance in gene expression as determined by significance of analysis microarrays and the proposed function as determined by GeneMesh. Arrows indicate the direction (up- or down-regulation) of changes in gene expression.
