Expression Data from Brucella abortus strain 2308 and isogenic mavR mutant cells

MavR is a 160 nucleotide regulatory RNA molecule that is produced during B. abortus strain 2308 growth in nutrient-replete broth. We used custom-made Affymetrix B. abortus strain 2308 derived GeneChips to compare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic mavR mutant cells. B. abortus strain 2308 or mavR mutant cells were grown to late exponential growth phase in brucella broth , total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the regulatory effects of abcR1 and abcR2 RNA species.
