Expression analysis of wild type Fusarium verticillioides cultured in liquid media. Fusarium verticillioides

Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes over time of Fusarium verticillioides wild-type in liquid fumonisin inducing media (GYAM). Fusarium verticillioides produces a polyketide derived mycotoxin, fumonsin, over time in liquid media (Proctor et al, Co-expression of 15 contiguous genes delineates a fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster in Gibberella moniliformis, Fungal Genetics and Biology, 38:237-249). Overall design: A twelve chip study using total RNA recovered from twelve wild type cultures of Fusarium verticillioides. Each chip measures the expression level of 13,288 genes with thirteen 60-mer probe pairs per gene.
