Drosophila spp. expression arrays
Brian Oliver lab - Updated 03/31/2008

We assayed gene expression in males and females of multiple Drosophila species using species-specific microarrays. A detailed description of array design and experimental methods can be found in:

Complete data, including current platform descriptions, are availble in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under accession GSE6640. Older descriptions of these data and previous versions are below:
