Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans aptf-1(gk7954) mutant in pretzel-stage embryos.

To investigate which genes are up- or down-regulated by aptf-1 transcription factor in C. elegans, aptf-1(gk794) mutants pretzel-stage embryos were used to performe whole genome microarray expression profiling using the C. elegans (V2) Gene Expression Microarray, 4x44K from Agilent Technologies. Approximately 3000 pretzel-stage embryos were used per sample. As a control we have used N2 C. elegans wild type strain. Mutant condition (aptf-1(gk794)) and control (N2) were done in four replicates.
