Gene expression dataset for whole cochlea of Macaca fascicularis

Macaca fascicularis (long-tailed, cynomolgus, or crab-eating macaque) is a highly advantageous model in which to study human cochlea with regard to both evolutionary proximity and physiological similarity of the auditory system. To better understand the properties of primate cochlear function, we analyzed the genes predominantly expressed in M. fascicularis cochlea. Total RNA was extracted from Left and right whole cochleas of an adult male Macaca fascicularis. RNA was hybridized on either macaque array chip or human array chip, both of which have been widely used and therefore comparable with other dataset.
