Abstract excerpt
The capacity of DNA macroarrays that contain all 4290 predicted open reading frames of the E. coli K12 genome was evaluated by measuring changes in gene expression in response to irradiation by ultraviolet light (UV). UV and other DNA damaging agents are known to trigger the induction of the SOS response. This is a coordinated increase in the level of expression of a set of approximately 30 unlinked genes, the...
