Week8

Microarrays and more...
November 17

NOTE: For class today please plan on discussing the first 3 papers (Gracey, Roberge and Goetz). I accidentally moved the Gracey paper to the additional reading section. I will bring extra copies of the Gracey paper to class. Apologies for the last minute change!!! - Mac
 * Papers to discuss:**

[|PLoS ONE: Disturbance of Social Hierarchy by an Invasive Species: A Gene Transcription Study]

[|Interpreting physiological responses to environmental change through gene expression profiling] //Journal of Experimental Biology// 210, 1584-1592 (2007)

Functional genomics with microarrays in fish biology and fisheries FISH and FISHERIES, 2008, 9, 378–395

Parallelism in gene transcription among sympatric lake whitefish ecotypes Molecular Ecology 15, 1239-1249
