Project name: Myotis ricketti

Description: We report the application of the Illumina/Solexa sequencing-by-synthesis platform to analysis differential expression genes of two key tissues (brain and adipose tissue) during hibernation vs. aroused state, with a hibernating bat species (Myotis ricketti) as model. Total of 12272 genes were identified including 11291 genes in brain and 10691 genes in adipose tissue. Chi-square test indicated that 1943 and 3673 genes in brain and adipose tissues respectively reached the significant level (P ≤ 0.01), including 1243 up-regulated and 700 down-regulated genes in hibernating brain and 2621 up-regulated and 1052 down-regulated genes in hibernating adipose tissue. This study provide opportunity to in-deep analysis the molecular mechanism of hibernating regualtion.Overall design: Screening the differential expressed genes of 2 different tissues in 2 states.
