Transcriptome analysis of E.coli MG1655 under multiple growth conditions

Investigation of comprehensive information about the expression level of RNA transcripts across the entire E.coli genome in mulitple growth conditions, including log-phase; stationary phase, heat shock and nitrogen-limiting condition. A fourteen chip study using total RNA recovered from four separate culture conditions of E.coli K12 MG1655. E.coli strains were harvested at mid-exponential phase with exception of stationary phase experiments. The high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays used were consisted of 371,034 oligonucleotide probes spaced 25 bp apart (25-bp overlap between two probes) across the E. coli genome (NimbleGen). Experiments were conducted as three or more biological replicates (different cultures)
