Temporal changes in mRNA abundance reflect evolving biological processes during MC3T3-E1 differentiation. by Louis M. Luttrell (408469)

“…<p>The mRNA abundance of 976 significantly regulated genes identified by ANOVA as changing during MC3T3-E1 differentiation was used to calculate expression ratios comparing D2 vs D5, D5 vs D10, and D10 vs D28. For each pairwise comparison, the earlier time point was used as the denominator and later time point as the numerator, such that expression ratios reflect increases/decreases in mRNA abundance as differentiation proceeds. …”
