Expression analysis of laser cut germaria vs laser cut apex of testes. Drosophila melanogaster

Here we used laser cutting microdissection and RNA amplification to profile the gene expression in wildtype female germaria and male apex of the testes. These tissue contain germline stem cells and early dividing germ cells. Our goal was to identify genes expressed in these cell types. Overall design: A direct microarray design of laser cut germaria vs laser cut apex of testes. Four biological replicates are included with two dye-swaps.
