Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Human erythrocytes lack a nucleus and are considered to be incapable of protein synthesis. Nevertheless these anucleated cells regulate a number of gene expressions as well as posttranscriptional and postranslational modifications of proteins. We evaluated which genes are transcribed in mature erythrocytes.Keywords: expression profileOverall design: Seven independent samples from healthy human donors were analyzed. Genes that had a detection call "present" in all seven array experiments were selected for further analysis.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
