Identifying genetic networks underlying myometrial transition to labor

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Early transition to labor remains a major cause of infant mortality, yet the causes are largely unknown. Although several marker genes have been identified, little is known about the underlying global gene expression patterns and pathways that orchestrate these striking changes. RESULTS: We performed a detailed time-course study of over 9,000 genes in mouse myometrium at defined physiological states:...
