Transcriptome analysis of dissected tumour tissue from Drosophila melanogaster larval tumour models in CD compared to HSD.

Transcriptomic profiling of Ras/Src tumours from animals raised on CD versus HSD enabled the identification of (i) candidate tumour-derived factors which may impact muscle-wasting and (ii) candidate amino acid transporters which may impact tumor growth. Pooled dissected tumour tissue was transcriptionally profiled in quadruplicate from Ras/Src tumours in CD and HSD.
