Genome-Wide Gene Expression in relation to Age in Large Laboratory Cohorts of Drosophila melanogaster

Table 1

Differential expression results for cDNA microarray compared to qRT-PCR. Gene expression data from qRT-PCR was normalized using Rp49. The fold change is reported as relative to control day 2. Negative numbers represent a downregulation of gene expression at that time point, whereas positive numbers represent an upregulation of gene expression at that time point. Nplp3 = Neuropeptide-like precursor 3 and Mtk = Metchnikowin.
